Course objectives
George Tabori (1914) is an unique figure on the contemporary stage. Hungarian-born, Jewish, holder of a British passport, he is an intriguing presence who writes his plays in English then produces them (and the plays of others, especially Beckett, Brecht, Lessing, Shakespeare, Kafka) in the German- speaking theatre of Germany and Austria. He began his long and astonishingly productive career in the United States, in Hollywood and later in New York - over twenty years in all; but his career only took off when he came to Germany, aged fifty five, and began producing theatrical events which were both highly original and provocative. We will choose to concentrate on certain preeminent aspects of his work in the contexts of german drama, analyse his plays and texts, we will try to define his singular contribution to contemporary theatre. An substantive part of the course will be to specify the art and modes of Taboris reception on the czech stage.
