"I'm good Hamlet gi'me a cause for grief" At first glance, readers
of The Hamletmachine (1979) could be forgiven for wondering whether
it is actually a play at all: it opens with a montage of texts that
are not ascribed to a character, there is no vestige of a plot, and
the whole piece lasts a total of ten pages. Yet, Heiner Muller's
play regularly features in theatres' repertoires and is frequently
staged by university theatre departments. In four short chapters,
David Barnett unpicks the complexities of The Hamletmachine's
writing and frames its author as an experimental, politically
committed writer who confronts the shortcomings of his age. In
considering the problems Muller poses for the play's performance,
he also discusses two exemplary productions in order to show how
the work can engage very different audiences. This book examines
why such a compact, radically open, and yet seemingly obscure play
has proved so popular.
