The Sunline is a seminal work by playwright Ivan Vyrypaev. Based in Poland, his works have been translated into seven languages and are celebrated across Europe. Nominated for several Golden Mask Awards, the New York Times lauded him as “Europe’s most promising playwright”.This is the first English translation of The Sunline. The team at Malevich Theatre translated this play with blessings from Vyrypaev over the last year and a half. We played to a sold out first season in June this year and are looking forward to bringing it back for the Melbourne Fringe.The magic of Vyrypaev’s writing lies in his raucous sense of absurdist and grotesque humour, while simultaneously uncovering deeper truths. The Sunline is particularly intriguing as it advocates for perseverance through adversity in relationships. It tackles the raw and often toxic nature of long-term love, drawing out the real pain and irrationality. Vyrypaev’s The Sunline draws parallels to Chekhov’s A Marriage Proposal, particularly in its exploration of communication breakdowns and misunderstandings.
