Slawomir Mrozek

Sławomir Mrożek (born 1930 in Borzecin) - Polish dramatist and writer. He started out as a journalist but in the late 1950s turned to writing plays. The first, Policja (The Police), was written in 1958. In years 1963-1996 he lived outside Poland, in Italy, France and Mexico (in 1997 he returned to Poland). His first full-length play and still his best-known work, Tango (1964, translated 1968), continues to be performed throughout Europe. Mrozek's works are sharply comical and they belong to the Theater of the Absurd, creating their effects through illusion, political and historic references, distortion, and parody. Major works:
  • Słoń (1957, English translation 1967 as Elephant, first volume of short stories)
  • Policja (1958, English Police)
  • Tango (1964)
  • Emigranci (1974, The Emigrants)
  • Portret (1987, Portrait)
  • Miłość na Krymie (1993 Love in the Crimea)
