by WITOLD GOMBROWICZ translated from the Polish by KRYSTYNA GRIFFITH-JONES and CATHERINE ROBINS
In this first play, published in 1938. the Polish novelist and playwright ironically explores man's folly, cruelty, and vanity by juxtaposing a fairy-tale royal household and the mirrorlike character of a young girl whose lack of reaction draws out the inhuman behaviour of the surrounding court.
