The Age of the Fish

Pomerica Press

Tales from the Vienna Woods describes the decay of a society haunted by inflation and lurching towards Fascism. Italian Night lays bare the blindness of even well-intentioned men and the dangerous inadequacy of their fascist tormentors. Sladek and Right Around the Congress are set in a period of roaring inflation in Germany after the First World War.

Oberon Books

These two plays are set in the period of roaring inflation that caused so much suffering to the German people after the First World War. In Sladek, we see how social conditions can lead people to desperate action and violence, opening the road for dictators and fascists. Written just as the Nazis came to power, A Sexual Congress predicts with frightening accuracy the cycle of violence that was to spread throughout Europe.

Von Horvath: Plays Two

Horváth's setting for this black political farce is a seedy hotel in Central Europe in the 1920s where the only guest is a drunken, ageing nymphomaniac - wealthy and despotic. Under her sole occupancy the hotel is falling apart and sliding even deeper into decadence. There is no future and no hope until a young woman arrives with a fortune to spend. What follows is a riot of confusion and mistaken identities, satirising the despair and futility of a continent poised on the brink of fascism.Horváth (1901-1938) was accidentally killed in Paris after fleeing from the Nazis. The Belle Vue, one of 16 plays, was not performed until 1969. This translation marked the British premiere, in a production by the Actors Touring Company.
