In Act II, there is a light with an increased flashing frequency.
The performance contains profanity.

I Miss Home is a story about difficult returns home, problems that fester in the shadow of absence, escape, responsibility, and the price of personal success. It is a sensitive and thoughtful reflection on a family affected by the consequences of political transformation. Drawing on his own experiences, author and director Radosław B. Maciąg from Pionki near Radom, paints a multi-generational picture of the inhabitants of a post-industrial town trying to find their place in a new reality.

This is a play that is, at times, cruelly funny and laughter constantly rang out from the audience always shouts laughter. However, this laughter erupted from absolute silence, making it clear that I Miss Home forces people to see themselves, their loved ones, and perhaps even their neighbours in the story and characters depicted on the stage. By portraying a home descending into despair and craving goodness desperately, Radosław Maciąg holds up a mirror to us. What we see in it is ourselves, with all our awkwardness, smallness, and pettiness, yet we are worthy of at least a little tenderness. Radosław Maciąg calls I Miss Home a bitter, painfully honest love letter to his loved ones. The performance from the Radom theatre resonates similarly because, ultimately, it is about love. Or perhaps something like love, which takes your breath away and makes you cry. It is a wonderful and cathartic experience.

I Miss Home reflects Polish society’s mindset and mental state at the beginning of the 21st century. This sentiment has been developing for a long time, waiting for an expressive outlet in Polish theatre. The cast is excellent. The lines, undoubtedly the subject of careful interpretation and psychological analysis during rehearsals, introduce the audience dynamically and smoothly to the successive phases of the dramatic plot. All the actors and actresses involved in the project deserve praise.
