PL
Ewald Palmetshofer is an Austrian dramatist of the younger generation (born in 1978) who has recently been gaining more and more recognition from both the audience and critics, in Austria as well as in Germany. In his play hamlet is dead. no gravity (which had its world premiere in 2007 at the Schauspielhaus Vienna) he tries to dissect a modern family life on the brink of collapse. Palmetshofer’s characters are struggling in a world without God, in which heaven is only a “machine” and traditional values such as love, mutual trust and respecting your elders are being forgotten. These are being replaced by antagonism, frustration and egoism. This article is an attempt to analyze the play.

The author of this article analyses The Stone, a play by Marius von Mayenburg, a renowned and highly acclaimed German playwright, dramatist and director. He perceives this work as a reckoning with Germany’s national so-cialist past. Through the prism of three generations of the Heising family, Mayenburg exposes the mechanisms at work in the creation of a family legend (“we are decent people; we were never Nazis; we helped the Jewish people”), which turns out to be merely a product of distortion and misrepresentation of historical truth, and an attempt to avert the blame.
