This volume presents two plays written for Deutsches Schauspielhaus
Hamburg and not yet staged in English. The Rest Will Be Familiar to
You from Cinema rewrites Euripides' Phoenician Women. As Thebes
braces itself for civil war, a group of terrifying young women
wrest control of the action from the power-players of Greek myth.
'A brilliant new interpretation of Euripides' ancient drama.'
Suddeutsche Zeitung 'Innovative and gripping theatre.' Hamburger
Abendblatt The Rest Will Be Familiar to You from Cinema was voted
Best Foreign Play 2013 by Theatre heute magazine. In Men Asleep,
the late-night arrival of a younger couple at Julia and Paul's
tasteful townhouse apartment exposes the fault line between
generations and probes our assumptions about gender and power. 'A
mysterious and disquieting "nocturne" about human relationships.'
Die Welt 'Martin Crimp is less interested in deconstructing the
bourgeoisie than in investigating the altered relations between men
and women . . . The ending of his intelligent and entertaining play
is ambiguous and potentially terrifying.' Der Freitag
