Shakespeare the Sadist/Bremen Coffee/My Foot My Tutor/Stallerhof

3.5/5 ( ratings)

These plays by the four leading young German playwrights offer the best proof of the much-vaunted 'theatrical renaissance' in Germany today. Bauer's Shakespeare the Sadist, seen at the Almost Free in London, is a neat spoof on the sort of cultural pretentiousness that can rate Shakespeare on par with pornographic movies. Fassbinder, known outside Germany mainly for his films, take a 19th century real-life multi-murderess as his heroine in Bremen Coffee to tell a moral tale of doubtful morality. Handke's My Foot My Tutor, a totally silent mime for two actors , demonstrates a refreshingly different aspect of his dramatic ability, already well proven in Kaspar and The Ride Across Lake Constance. Kroetz's special talent is for relentlessly naturalistic studies of ordinary people in depressed or deprived situations. Stallerhof, seen in London and Edinburgh, is the best of these: its impact is totally disturbing.
