Nächtliches Gespräch mit einem verachteten Menschen/Stranitzky und der Nationalheld/Das Unternehmen der Wega. Hörspiele und Kabarett
»Dürrenmatt ist ein Meister der sprachlichen Perspektive, er hat sie nicht zuletzt am Hörspiel ausgebildet. Im Unternehmen Wega wird die Auseinandersetzung zwischen West und Ost auf unserem Planeten ausgeweitet auf einen neuen möglichen die Venus. Sie ist zur Strafkolonie der Erde geworden. In Stranitzky und der Nationalheld rückt das Staatsoberhaupt Baldur von Moeve infolge Erkrankung an Aussatz auf die Seite der Geächteten und Geschändeten. Einer von diesen, der an beiden Beinen amputierte Kriegsverletzte und ehemalige Fußballchampion Stranitzky, hält nun seine Stunde für gekommen. Die bisherigen Opfer der Politik werden regieren denn zum Regieren braucht es ja schließlich keine Beine, wohl aber einen Kopf. Das Nächtliche Gespräch ist nicht nur ganz allgemein ein Kurs für Zeitgenossen, sondern im besonderen eine Anleitung für Dürrenmatt-Leser, vielleicht sogar d i e Anleitung.«"

About the author
Friedrich Dürrenmatt
408 books1,026 followersFriedrich Dürrenmatt (1921 – 1990) was a Swiss author and dramatist.
Dürrenmatt was born in the Emmental (canton of Bern), the son of a Protestant pastor. His grandfather Ulrich Dürrenmatt was a conservative politician. The family moved to Bern in 1935. Dürrenmatt began to study philosophy and German language and literature at the University of Zurich in 1941, but moved to the University of Bern after one semester. In 1943 he decided to become an author and dramatist and dropped his academic career. In 1945-46, he wrote his first play, "It is written". On October 11 1946 he married actress Lotti Geissler. She died in 1983 and Dürrenmatt was married again to another actress, Charlotte Kerr, the following year.
He was a proponent of epic theater whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author gained fame largely due to his avant-garde dramas, philosophically deep crime novels, and often macabre satire. One of his leading sentences was: "A story is not finished, until it has taken the worst turn". Dürrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten.
