A documentary written and presented by Noel Witts. When the free trade union Solidarity was officially recognised in October 1980, hopes for an unfettered Polish theatre ran high; they were dashed with the imposition of martial law on 13 December 1981. It is now over three years since martial law was lifted. With contributions from authors, directors, actors and critics - recorded in Warsaw and Krakov.
