Wielopole | Wielopole: An Exercise in Theatre

Wiclopole/ Wielopole, the OBIE award-winning play by Europe's leading expenmental playwright, schematically explores the relationship between the living an the dead as well as the contradictory nature of representation in history. This volume reflects the violence of Polish history, but also contains a lot of the wit and taste for the absurd that have helped humanity to survive the indignities of the modern world.

It is lavishly illustrated with production shots, has an invaluable introduction by George Hyde and contains Kantor's own rehearsal notes and essays on theatre. The author's concerns with the roles of state, military and church within Polish society are of universal interest.
