| Publisher Description: In the last ten years, George Tabori (* 1914) has been one of the dramatic authors most frequently performed this century in Germany and also one of the most sought-after directors in German-speaking theatres. This contrasts with the neglect he has been accorded in literary and drama studies. Only very recently has there been any notable change in this situation. This volume sets out to record and contribute to the ongoing discussion of Tabori's achievements, both his stage productions and his own plays, on the subject of the shoah. A comparative angle is also taken on his work, examining and discussing the significance of his theatrical style for contemporary drama with reference to authors such as Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett and Peter Weiss. |
