Tango: A Play in Three Acts by Sławomir Mrożek
In Tango, as in Mrozek's earlier plays, perfect logic is energetically applied to illogical ends. Arthur lives with his Bohemian family in appalling disorder: His mother sleeps with a vulgar hoodlum; his father looks the other way, meanwhile writing avant-garde plays; and his grandmother plays cards incessantly. Arthur's elaborate coup d'etat, by which he seeks to establish his kind of order in the house at the point of a gun, leads to his total defeat and ends in one of the most chilling moments in the literature of the modern theater. --from the back cover
