The National Theatre has a legendary history of over 250 years. Its productions are mounted on three stages: the 625-seat main theatre Bogusławski's Room; and the more intimate theatres Scene at Wierzbowa and Studio Scene. New productions by Polish dramatists are held alongside translations of international works from Shakespeare to Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen.
