The 1925 play “Innocent Sinner”<\/strong> was a social\/comedy drama that explores the tension between appearance and morality. The title refers to a central character who is considered guilty by society despite having acted with innocent motives. The play satirizes bourgeois social conventions. Wac\u0142aw Grubi\u0144ski (1883-1973) <\/b>was a Polish playwright and prose writer, columnist, and theater reviewer. He staged “Innocent Sinner” in 1925. In 1936, Grubinski was awarded the Golden Laurel of the Polish\u00a0 Academy of Literature. In 1940, he was arrested by the NKVD. As the author of the comedy “Lenin” (<\/i>published in 1921), he was sentenced to death, which was commuted to 10 years in a labor camp. Later released, he was an employee of the Polish embassy in Kuibyshev, then evacuated from the USSR to the Middle East. He published his memoirs from the Gulag labor camp (“Between the Hammer and the Sickle”<\/i>) in London in 1948. Throughout his life, he was subject to censorship by the Communists governments.\u00a0 The poster artist Waldemar \u015awierzy<\/strong> (1931-2013) was a renowned Polish graphic designer and a pivotal figure in the Polish School of Posters.
