Person
Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) was a Polish writer, fine artist, literary critic and art teacher. He is regarded as one of the greatest Polish-language prose stylists of the twentieth century, though his body of written work is modest. His key works are The Street of Crocodiles and Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass. In 1992, Complicite produced an experimental piece of theatre based on The Street of Crocodiles, which received six Olivier Award nominations and was revived four times in London and then performed all over the world.
