This volume contains seven plays, written between 1906 and 1926,
which demonstrate the basic forms, tenets and preoccupations of
German Expressionist drama, which has been described as the
forerunner of Absurdist theatre and is characterized by both visual
and verbal violence. These plays, taken together, offer an
excellent introduction to the entire movement. Kokoschka's
"Murderer, Hope of Womankind", for example, has that strong
ritualistic quality which characterizes so many other Expressionist
writings, and Stramm's terrifying "Awakening" recalls the
threatening absurdities of Ionesco's theatre. These plays, with
their visionary elements and their timeless quality, speak as
clearly to audiences today as they did at the time of their
creation.
