Very funny one-act by internationally renowned short-story writer and playwright Slawomir Mrozek. A supreme satirist, Mrozek has a style that's been grouped with the theater of the absurd since his first plays in the late 1950s, while displaying its own peculiar mix of madcap, the grotesque, and political allegory.

Very funny one-act by internationally renowned short-story writer and playwright Slawomir Mrozek.

A supreme satirist, Mrozek has a style that's been grouped with the theater of the absurd since his first plays in the late 1950s, while displaying its own peculiar mix of madcap, the grotesque, and political allegory. In "The Party", three friends show up to an empty room prepared for what they had thought was supposed to be a party. The initial confusion and disappointment turn to a questioning of the nature of the party they thought they had been invited to. Is it a wedding or funeral? And what's the difference again? As the companions fight for their right to party, their fragile and fragmented egos unleash three ids and a costume trunk riding a giddy wave of paranoia and possibility.
