Synopsis:

Petra is a woman in control - a successful fashion designer who lives with her slavish, suffering assistant Marlene. But when Petra meets beautiful Karin - part protégé, part pet, she falls hopelessly in love with her and the power of the relationship begins to shift. The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant is a modern tragedy of power, desire and obsession. Sometimes surreal, expressionist and dreamlike.

Notes:

Original Playwright - Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Also known as Marilyn Monroe vs. The Vampires, Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1971 play Blood on the Cat's Neck is a savage satire of bourgeois manners and the bourgeois Comedy of Manners. One of Fassbinder's antitheater works, it suggests that knowledge of a human beingany human beingthrough language alone is impossible, and that perhaps theatre itself is pointless as a means of actually communicating real ideas about people. A madcap, hysterical farce of high and low humor that features horrible physical and psychic violence, cruelty, murder, unscrupulous business dealings, and lots and LOTS of blood. Yes, LOTS and LOTS of blood."

Synopsis:

Oh, poor Phoebe . . . dropped, half-naked, into a cocktail party with no language to call her own. How will she possibly get by? Maybe if she listens to the people attending this party-the Teacher, the Policeman, the Soldier, the Gigolo, the Young Girl, the Mistress, the Butcher, and the Model, their hostess-she might learn something about Human Language, and Human Democracy. Nope, that doesn't seem to be working. Maybe if she puts the partygoers through a series of scenes in which they playact typical Human interactions she will understand? Nope. Maybe if she joins the party and tries to fake it with what she's learned? Nope. It appears that Phoebe Zeitgeist will have to take a more direct route, right into the jugular vein, to suck what she needs to know about Human Language out of these oh-so-polite celebrants . . .

We add submitted information to the site daily and all contributions we receive help make this the most meaningful and definitive guide to modern playwrights in the world. So whether you are a Playwright who wishes to make their entry definitive, an unlisted Playwright or a User with a tale to tell - we want to hear from you.










Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
