<DIV>Janusz Glowacki's highly theatrical and often hilarious works concern the immigrant experience of the Eastern European in America, the struggles of the individual in a repressive state, and the manipulations of political and social power. The girls' reform school of <I>Cinders, </I>the Lower East Side tenement of <I>Hunting Cockroaches, </I>and the Norwegian court littered with bodies in <I>Fortinbras Gets Drunk</I> serve as backdrops for Glowacki's tragicomic explorations of the play within the play of contemporary existence.</div>
