This volume collects original essays on Hungarian-German playwright
and screenwriter George Tabori (1914-2007) and his remarkable
contributions to the stage. Tabori, a Jewish refugee and a truly
transnational author, was best known for his work in New York
theater that irreverently explored the Jewish experience,
particularly the Holocaust. Although his illustrious career spanned
a century, two continents, several languages, and a variety of
literary genres, Tabori's work has received scant attention in
American letters, in spite of its significance for U.S. theater and
Holocaust studies. Until Tabori, most dramas about the Holocaust
were either rooted in American domestic realism, striving to create
a strong empathetic connection between the audience and Holocaust
victims, or featured an unembellished documentary style. Tabori
staked out a third position, beyond realism and documentation. The
volume brings together the voices of international scholars to
provide a comprehensive introduction to Tabori's theater as well as
in-depth analyses of his work, discussing all of his major plays.
Individual essays address Tabori's postdramatic theater in relation
to sacrificial ritual, performance studies, and post-humanist
approaches to the contemporary stage, as well as performance
aspects of his productions, questions of ethics and aesthetics
raised by his theater, and his plays' relation to Holocaust
representation in popular culture.
