Description

Sports Play by Elfriede Jelinek is a provocative exploration of the human body and emotions in sport. First produced at the Vienna Burgtheater in 1998, this postdramatic theatrical work examines our obsession with fitness and body culture, highlighting the need to belong to a group or team. The play portrays sport as a form of war in peacetime, shedding light on contemporary society's fixation on physical performance. With its unique blend of themes and styles, Sports Play challenges audiences to consider the complexities of human connection and identity. Translated with assistance and featuring a foreword by Karen Juers-Munby, this edition brings Jelinek's groundbreaking work to English-speaking readers.
