| biography:
| Playwright and theatre director, born in Vienna, Austria. He spent most of his professional life in Vienna apart from a spell in exile during the Nazi regime. His best-known plays include Die rote Straße (1918), Ballade von der Stadt (1928), 3. November 1918 (1936), and Gottes General (1939). His last works largely avoided expressionistic traits in favour of Austrian traditionalism coupled with a cosmopolitan humanitarianism, as in Olymp und Golgatha (1954) and Das Zeichen an der Wand (1962). |
