a story of the selfish, savvy and eager. Stranded at sea, three characters take a surreal journey when they are forced to decide how to survive.

Synopsis:

The action takes place in a nameless totalitarian state ruled over with eerie contentment by an infant king and his uncle the regent. When 'the last remaining revolutionary' agrees to take an oath of loyalty to the state and so secure his release from prison, the chief of police seems less than happy. After all, the declaration could signal his own force's obsolescence, especially as his zealous sergeant, working as an agent provocateur, finds it impossible to stir up antigovernment sentiment among the unnaturally placid citizens. What are the police to do when everyone is utterly conformist?

Original Playwright - Slawomir Mrozek

Synopsis:

It is a very bad day for the chief of police. After 10 years languishing in prison, the state's last remaining political prisoner is insisting on taking an oath of loyalty to the country and its leader, and must therefore be released. Attempts by an enthusiastic police sergeant to act as an agent provocateur and stir uo dissension among the populatidn have failed as the people persistently refuse to break the law. The consequences of all this are gradually dawning on the chief of police even as he triesio bribe the poli6cal prisoner to remain a dissident. For the police and the criminal, the secret service and the revolutionary are entirely dependent on each other. You can't have one without the other. Can you even have such a thing as loyalty if there is no disloyalty? Written in 1958 by the Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek as a satire on the totalitarian state, The Police serves pretty well for today too, not least because, as adaptor Anders Lustgarten suggests, you need an enemy if you are going to wage a war on terror. Despite the orange Guanthamo-style prison suits, director Christopher Loscher never overplays the contemporary relevance in a production that demonstrates good acting, flair and confidence.

Original Playwright - Slawomir Mrozek

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
