Sławomir Mrożek - Dzieła Zebrane
Wielebni
Do prowincjonalnego miasteczka w Nowej Anglii (USA) przybywa niejaki Ryszard Bloom, skierowany przez władze duchowne do pracy w miejscowej parafii. Jego kandydatura wydaje się wielce kontrowersyjna, ponieważ wielebny jest przechrzczonym Żydem. Wkrótce jednak się okazuje, że nie on jeden ubiega się o posadę proboszcza. Drugim kandydatem, a właściwie kandydatką, jest... kobieta wielebna Gloria Burton. Ostatecznego wyboru ma dokonać zblazowana i rozerotyzowana Rada Parafialna, będąca w istocie Ludowym Komitetem Wolnej i Niezawisłej Parafii, tajną organizacją, która za cel stawia sobie zgładzanie kolejnych proboszczów... Światowa prapremiera Wielebnych, w reżyserii Jerzego Stuhra, odbyła się w Genui 27 lutego 2001 roku.

In 1953, during the reign of Stalinism in Poland, Mrożek was one of several signatories of an open letter to Polish authorities participating in defamation of Catholic priests from Kraków, three of whom were condemned to death (but never executed) by the communist government after being groundlessly accused of treason.

Wspaniała sztuka pokazująca w zabawny sposób najpierw walkę o stanowisko pastora w małym miasteczku między wielebną Glorią Burton i wielebnym Richardem Bloomem, którzy w miarę rozwoju akcji muszą zjednoczyć siły przeciwko członkom Rady Parafialnej. Rada, która tak naprawdę jest tajną organizacją o nazwie Ludowy Komitet Wolnej i Niezawisłej Parafii, ma na cel zgładzenie każdego proboszcza. Świetne.
