Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke's first full-length drama, hailed in Europe as "the play of the decade" and compared in importance to Waiting for Godot Kaspar is the story of an autistic adolescent who finds himself at a complete existential loss on the stage, with but a single sentence to call his own. Drilled by prompters who use terrifyingly funny logical and alogical language-sequences, Kaspar learns to speak "normally" and eventually becomes creative--"doing his own thing" with words; for this he is destroyed. In Offending the Audience and Self-Accusation, one-character "speak-ins," Handke further explores the relationship between public performance and personal identity, forcing us to reconsider our sense of who we are and what we know.

This collection contains six fascinating comedies by the avant-garde playwright, Robert Reichardt. Each is unique in its subject matter, and dazzling in originality. ORANGE LIPS AND THE BARBECUE PEOPLE answers the question about what happens to people when they wind up in Purgatory -- that in-between place described by Dante. Do they just sit and wait? No, they barbecue and run the lives of selected people still on Earth. A group of obnoxious barbecue people get involved with the family of Kenny "Orange Lips" Jung, and this leads to riotous conflict. ECHO AND THE CAMOUFLAGE, is set in modern Chicago, and is loosely based on the Greek Myth of Echo, Narcissus, and Queen Hera. A young blind girl, Echo Seltsam, is suddenly cured and transformed by a miracle into The Blue Lady -- a person of unlimited power. What she does with it, and how it effects her narcissistic, camouflage-wearing Father, Jerry, and others provides the comic structure of the play. The short play, KAREN, THE FUSE LADY, describes a bizarre Summer "romance" in a cheap Chicago tenement, as a young renter becomes involved with his neurotic neighbor. He battles to save his electricity (and sanity) from a woman who has other ideas about how he should live his life. HAT-P-1, OR A BIG CRUNCH. After scientists predict the Universe will soon end in a "Big Crunch," a group gathers in an affluent Chicago suburb for a black-tie party to comfort one another. It doesn't work out that way. The guests soon discover a lot about one another (not much of it good), and engage in various forms of escapism -- primarily focused on unrealistic thoughts about going to HAT-P-1, a newly discovered gigantic planet so light and fluffy it would float on water.

A collection of six plays by Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, spanning the early years of the Austrian playwright's career The first full-length play The Ride Across Lake Constance, is one of Handke's best-known works. It deals directly with one of Handke's favorite themes: the realities of theater itself, independent of the offstage world, and the way language (dialogue) and objects (props) operate in the skewed world of the stage. Therein it anticipates They Are Dying Out, the second full-length play in this volume. In some ways more conventional than many of Handke's plays, They Are Dying Out presents one of his most fascinating protagonists, Quitt, a businessman who first induces a group of colleagues to set up a monopoly and then torpedoes the scheme. The four short plays that round out the book--Prophecy, Calling for Help, Quodlibet, and My Foot My Tutor--were written before The Ride Across Lake Constance and show Handke moving from the experimental mode of his early work toward the richness and complexity that have marked him as the most important dramatist since Becket. Together, Handke's plays bear witness to the truth of Richard Gilman's observation that "in Handke's theater, language, exposed, assaulted, wrestled with, driven to limits, and pursued still further, begins to take on, like the color returning to the cheeks of a nearly hanged man, the signs of a strange and unexpected resurrection."

This study analyzes the biblical Tower of Babel story, a cautionary tale that accounts for the diversity of languages and peoples. The author pursues its linking of language, architecture, and society as well as its relevance in art and literature over centuries. To come to terms with a perceived disorder in the realm of language, alternative explanations and projects for remediation abound. The disorder and diversity themselves find expression in art, literature, and philosophical reflection and caused the emergence of a historical linguistics. The ambition of the builders—with its social and organizational premise—reemerges in both political and material form as cities, states, and monumental constructions. Utopian aspirations and linguistic claims permeate both revolutionary notions of universality and the romantic essentialism of the nation state. These in turn provoke dystopian critique in literature and film. As Martin Meisel reveals in this study, the wrestle with language in its recalcitrant instability and imperfect social function enters into dialogue with the celebration of its diversity, elasticity, and creativity.

Modern plays are strikingly diverse and, as a result, any attempt to locate an underlying unity between them encounters difficulties: to focus on what they have in common is often to overlook what is of primary importance in particular plays; to focus on their differences is to note the novelty of the plays without increasing their accessibility. In this study, first published in 1985, Austin E. Quigley takes as his paradigm case the relationship between the world of the stage and the world of the audience, and explores various modes of communication between domains. He asks how changes in the structure of the drama relate to changes in the structure of the theatre, and changes in the role of the audience. Detailed interpretations of plays by Pinero, Ibsen, Strindberg, Brecht, Ionesco, Beckett and Pinter question principles about the modern theatre and establish links between drama structure and theatre structure, theme, and performance space.
