From a forested Polish village to the blinding lights of London, A Time to Reap looks at one woman’s story against the mountain landscape of an evolving nation and one of Poland’s hottest political topics – abortion and the Catholic Church.

Anna Wakulik's startling play was developed by the Royal Court Theatre from its 2011 International Residency for Emerging Playwrights.
