Dear Sir or Madam,
We are delighted to invite you to the 2nd 10-Minute Plays Festival. This event marks the culmination of an international project carried out by the University of Warsaw Foreign Language Teaching Centre. During the festival gala, we will invite you to watch six original plays that won the “Fail Better” literary competition. Although each play lasts only 10 minutes, we can assure you that all of them will stay with you much longer. Performances will be presented in both Polish and English. In the second part of the event, we will invite you to participate in “meaningful conversations” devoted to contemporary issues. This year, we provocatively ask about the (non)presence of failure in culture, language, and the individual experience of each of us. We would be honoured by your presence.
On behalf of the organisers,
Dr. Elżbieta Grzyb

tu trochę bardziej zmieniłam, bo “plays awarded in the competition” to chyba za bliska kalka
