Notes
- General
- East German director, Adolf Dresen, staged the play as a Brechtian parable. The effect was strengthened by topical allusions and satirical comment on conditions in present-day Vienna. At least one character secretly watched the action from two-storey theatre boxes erected in such a way as to appear to the audience to extend well into the main stage.
- Textual information
- Translated into German by Maik Hamburger and Adolf Dresen. Gerd Leo Kuck is the dramaturg.
