| biography:
| Writer, born in Munich, SE Germany. His plays are among the most frequently performed of any contemporary German dramatist. He also writes prose, radio and television plays, and films for television, often set in rural Bavaria. His work, characterized by an acute observation of ordinary people, employs dialect and a colloquial style combined with naturalist elements to show how unprepared they are to cope with a modern world, and how their inability to communicate leads to a feeling of isolation. |
