The Street of Crocodiles (Polish: Sklepy cynamonowe, lit. "Cinnamon Shops") is a 1934 collection of short stories written by Bruno Schulz. First published in Polish, the collection was translated into English by Celina Wieniewska in 1963.[1]
[edit] Adaptations
A 1986 Brothers Quay stop-motion animation, Street of Crocodiles is based on the book. The work was also adapted, in 1992, as a stage play, by Theatre de Complicite.[2] This latter adaptation was first staged in August 1992 at the Cottesloe Theatre at the National Theatre in London; it toured throughout 1992 and 1993 and was nominated for four Olivier Awards.
