Marius Von Mayenburg

"A nocturnal flaneur gets caught in a nightmare of murder and desire (The dog, the night and the knife), a canny businessman is suddenly brought low (Eldorado) and two couples get tangled in absurdly comic partner relationships (Perplex). In Marius von Mayenburg's plays, dreams and reality are very closely linked and social existence is an endangered construction."--Page 4 of cover.
