Eurostar Radio Drama [Austria - English]


Gelesen von Andrew Singer

In this contemporary Austrian play, authors Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth return as ghosts to the Europe of 2020. They accompany a literary scholar and her trainee during a research trip on a train journey from Vienna to London. Between tragedy and comedy, their attempts oscillate to position themselves on current developments in Europe.

This play originally premiered in German language in Austria and marks its radio theater debut. Following this one-hour performance, host Andrew Singer speaks with director Stephanie Schmiderer and co-authors Barbara Kadletz and Ursula Knoll.

Includes the musical track, "Wüdnis", by Ursula Strauss & Ernst Molden. Thanks to the Austrian Cultural Forum New York for their kind support for this production.
