The Police

by Slawomir Mrozek
in a translation by Nicholas Bethell

Theatre of the Absurd by one of Poland’s best-loved playwrights.  Set within the cell of a secret prison, hapless police officers pit their wits against the intellectual superiority of the last political prisoner. This fantastical nightmare by Slawomir Mrozek provides a glimpse of tomorrow’s world as perfectly logical events spiral into absurdity.
