Ferdinand von Schirach's new programme, ‘Der stille Freund’ (The Silent Friend), tells of human triumphs and failures. Of friendship, hope, Greek Stoicism and death. The programme will take on a form all its own, based on the book of the same name. However, it will only be available to experience on stage.
Der Spiegel called Ferdinand von Schirach a ‘great storyteller,’ the New York Times an ‘extraordinary stylist,’ the Independent compared him to Kafka and Kleist, the Financial Times to Raymond Carver, and the Daily Telegraph wrote that he was ‘one of the most distinctive voices in European literature.’ His books have been adapted for film many times and have become international bestsellers, selling millions of copies. They have been published in more than forty countries. His plays Terror and God are among the most successful and most discussed contemporary dramas worldwide.
