Nota wydawnicza: At 37, the leading playwright of modern Poland, Slawomir Mrozek recently emerged as one of Europe’s major new dramatists with the international success of his full-length play Tango in its London, Paris, Dusseldorf, and Warsaw productions. In the one-act plays collected in this volume, as in all of Mrozek’s work, perfect logic is rigorously applied to illogical ends: in Police, the last jailed revolutionary threatens to reform, thus making the police obsolete; in Out at Sea, three shipwrecked survivors must decide which one of them will be eaten by the other two; two bureaucrats sharing a hotel room in Enchanted Night conjure up a „dream girl” with their mutual imagination; three bored farm hands in Party initiate a desperate cycle of merry-making that threatens to end in murder; in Charlie, an occulist is asked to fit an old man with glasses to help him shoot the man he wants to murder; and in The Martyrdom of Peter Ohey a maharajah and an imaginary tiger hunt down an innocent citizen in his bathroom. Here again, Mrozek shows himself to be an undisputed master of the grotesque, a sharp parodist of politics.
