Rula Lenska: From Dzików to Willesden Green

From Dzików to Willesden Green is a heartfelt performance where Rula Lenska brings to life her mother’s poignant and humorous story, based on the memoirs of Elizabeth 'Bisia' Carroll. This show combines storytelling, music, and projections from a family photo album, making it a unique tribute to her Polish roots, suitable for audiences who appreciate deep personal narratives.

The performance will be followed by a Q&A.

Reviews

While there are many actors out there who are fine orators, Lenska lends to Bisia’s words an intimacy and pathos that can’t be replicated without knowing the person in question. More than just a chronicle of a bygone age, From Dzików to Willesden Green is an act of devotion whereby mother and daughter co-exist.
