Olga Lipińska (born 6 April 1939 in Warsaw) is a Polish theatre director, screenwriter, and TV comedy producer, best known for her TV cabaret called the Kabaret Olgi Lipińskiej (Cabaret of Olga Lipińska).
In 1973, she produced Damy i huzary by Aleksander Fredro, followed by TV production of play by Ivo Brešan in 1985, and more Polish dramas by Fredro: Gwałtu, co się dzieje (1992), Zemsta (1994); Baryłeczka by Guy de Maupassant (1995), Ja się nie boję braci Rojek by Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński (2003) and an opera Cud mniemany, czyli Krakowiacy i górale by Wojciech Bogusławski in 2007.
[3] Between 1990 and 1992, she ran a talk-show for TVP1 called Piosenki z Kabaretu Olgi Lipińskiej (Songs of Olga Lipińska cabaret).
[4] In the 2009 interview for Przekrój magazine conducted by Piotr Najsztub in Warsaw, which marked her cabaret's return to the airwaves, Lipińska said that all she really wanted was to make the world a better place; there was no communism to begin with – she said – only the Soviet-style socialism which was bound to collapse.
However, she is not pleased with what happened after the Revolutions of 1989, especially about the new-found religiousness visible across the country and the capitalist economy which makes everyone fear for their own unknown future.
