Summer's Day, A

Synopsis:
Eastern European playwrights sometimes appear to be too obscure and gnomic for their own good - until one remembers that often they had to camouflage what they were really saying in the bad otd days before the wall came down, for fear of reprisals. a Summer's Day, written in 1983, was the first play that illustrious Polish Dramatist, Slawomir Mrozek, was allowed to write for the foreign theatre. The work of Mrozek has been performed in Britain before (Tom Stoppard translated Tango for the National), but not often, and one can see why. British audiences are not over-keen on philosophically heavy Drama, even when it's rooted in strong personal interaction, as a Summer's Day is.The action opens on a park bench. The Young Man has hung a noose from a tree and is about to end it all. The Gentleman enters (you can tell it's an Eastern European play when the characters don't have names). The Young Man chickens Out, and tells the Gentleman that this is entirely symptomatic of his life. He can't even commit suicide properly. He witters on about his lack of success, as a swimmer, with women etc. and conjectures about the success that the silent but sartorially splendid Gentleman no doubt enjoys. Eventually The Gentleman speaks. Yes, he is successful at everything he tries but this doesn't make him happy. The Gentleman too has come to the park to commit suicide. a beautifully absurdist sequence follows in which The Young Man wants to do the job for him - because that means he will have succeeded at something in his lifel
