Slawomir Mrozek, the Polish-born writer whose plays – among them
Tango and
Vatzlav – have earned him a reputation as one of Europe's most inventive new playwrights, has written three more plays which confirm his position as a master of modern satire whose concerns are as political as they are moral. In
Striptease, two characters – one an intellectual, the other an activist – find themselves inside a room where a gigantic hand instructs them to remove their clothes until both act out an elaborate dance of rationalized submission. In
Repeat Performance, a middle-aged man on an escapade with his son's young wife encounters a ghost from his own youth – the charismatic political leader to whom he had sworn everlasting allegiance,and whose spirit has now returned to claim either the father or the son .
The Prophets tells what happens when two prophets show up to fulfill the prophesies instead of just one.
