Description

Explore the radical works of Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, known as Witkacy, a leading innovator of Polish theatre and a major figure in the European avant-garde. This volume from the Routledge Harwood Polish and East European Theatre Archive presents two of his most striking tropical plays: Mr. Price, or Tropical Madness and Metaphysics of a Two-Headed Calf. These plays were inspired by Witkacy's 1914 travels to Ceylon and Australia alongside the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. Mr. Price, or Tropical Madness captures a world of heightened passion and greed among British colonists in Rangoon, reminiscent of the atmosphere found in Joseph Conrad's writings. This collection provides a deep look into the creative mind of a playwright who helped redefine theatrical expression during the interwar years. It is an essential resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of performing arts and theatre history.
