"Kaspar," Peter Handke's first full-length drama--hailed in Europe
as "the play of the decade" and compared in importance to "Waiting
for Godot"--is the story of an autistic adolescent who finds
himself at a complete existential loss on the stage, with but a
single sentence to call his own. Drilled by prompters who use
terrifyingly funny logical and alogical language-sequences, Kaspar
learns to speak "normally" and eventually becomes creative--"doing
his own thing" with words; for this he is destroyed.
In "Offending the Audience" and "Self-Accusation," one-character
"speak-ins," Handke further explores the relationship between
public performance and personal identity, forcing us to reconsider
our sense of who we are and what we know.
