by Witold Gombrowicz
English version by LOUIS IRIBARNE
Music composed by HUMPHREY SEARLE
Frank Finlay , Mary Morris Maurice Denham with Christopher Guinee Angela Pleasence
A young soldier returns from the war to find the home, the parents. and the fiancee he left behind strangely transformed as if in a dream. Their words and actions shift without reason or transition to extremes. But the dreamer, too, in his turn is changed by the outside world he himself dreamed. ' Everything in the play creates itself, people create one another, and the whole pushes forward toward unknown solutions.'
A stirring major work by this contemporary Polish writer, The Marriage employs verse, stylised speech, chorus, and parody. Though lately produced in Paris and Berlin, this, in the recent translation, is its first performance in English.
GRETTA Gouriet , MARGARET WOLFIT
