“For many of the writers from German-speaking countries, the so-called post-dramatic theatre (theatre writing that has dispensed with any semblance of character or narrative) has become de rigueur. But despite the differences in style and approach, a common theme emerges. Practically every play – whether it’s set in a Turkish morgue, a Slovak village or 1980s Romford – seems to be exploring the same ground: a sense of displacement, of borders breaking down and shifting, of exile and immigration, of loss of homeland.”
