Pocket Full of Breads by Matei Vişniec (2019)

Written & Directed by Omkar Bhatkar


The play is a realistic drama, a satire about human nature, talking about people like you and me…sometimes cynical, sometimes shallow, witty and ridiculous, generous and coward in the same time. The play creates a sad and ludicrous universe, its two characters “Man with stick” and “Man with hat” resemble Vladimir and Estragon from Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”, experiencing an absurd revelation, engaged in a game of power and free will. Conversing about absurd life events, Pockets Full of Breads has some very crunchy lines penned by the Romanian playwright Matéi Visniec.
