Synopsis

"Fassbinder's version of modern post-civilized terror was, like much else about his work, ahead of its time." --San Francisco Chronicle

The late Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the most brilliant exponent of German "New Wave" cinema, also made a startling contribution to the theatre scene with his "antiteater." His plays take their place with those of other writers such as Handke, Kroetz, Bernhard, and Müller, who created a renaissance of German drama in America.

This volume brings together six of Fassbinder's controversial plays:

  • The Bitter Tears of Petra van Kant
  • Katzelmacher
  • Garbage, the City, and Death
  • Bremen Freedom
  • Blood on the Cat’s Neck
  • Pre-Paradise Sorry Now
