Ferdinand von Schirach war lange Strafverteidiger, bevor er mit dem Erzählband Verbrechen einen sensationellen Debüterfolg feierte. Seither hat er ein umfangreiches und vielfältiges literarisches Werk veröffentlicht. Mit über 10 Millionen verkauften Büchern und Übersetzungen in über 40 Ländern gehört Schirach zu den meistgelesenen deutschen Gegenwartsautoren. Wie erklärt sich dieser Erfolg? Was zeichnet seine Texte aus, ästhetisch, diskursiv und politisch? Die im vorliegenden Band versammelten Beiträge untersuchen Schirachs Werk aus literatur-, kultur- und rechtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive: seine Poetik, seine Medien und vor allem seine Verbindung von Literatur und Recht.
Et musikalsk drømmespil om Poul Anker Bech.Det tabte land er fortællingen om maleren, der kæmper med sig selv for at få skabt sine billeder. Det er samtidigogså fortællingen om manden, der savner sin afdødehustru - og om provinskunstneren, der kæmper med at blive anerkendt i hovedstaden. Uropsætningen i 2018 var Vendsyssel Teaters gave til Hjørrings 775 års købstadsjubilæum.“I denne historie er der ikke tilstræbt en biografiskkorrekt sandhed. Der er digt, der er sandhed og nogetandet ind i mellem.” Sådan siger dramatikeren Jesper Bræstrup Karlsen.

En barsk forestilling om krig, venskab, forførelse og det ultimative forræderi.Anden verdenskrig buldrer. Hitler har besat store dele af Europa og sender nu millioner af soldater østpå for at kæmpe mod russerne. I en rus blandet af eventyrtrang, idealisme og rastløshed melder de to danske barndomsvenner Karl og Mikkel sig frivilligt under tyskernes faner. De drager østpå til det, de tror vil være en kortvarig udflugt fuld af storslåede sejre og spænding. Men eventyret bliver til et mareridt. Krigens virkelighed og den russiske vinter rammer dem som en tordenhammer, og inden længe befinder de sig i en ekstrem, nådesløs overlevelseskamp, der sætter deres venskab på en altafgørende prøve. Med fatale konsekvenser for dem begge.
Grotesk og humoristisk nytolkning af Shakespeares Hamlet, hvor galskaben sættes op mod nutidens diagnosesamfund. Alle siger, at Ophelia har mistet forstanden. Hun kan ikke længere tale, men er begyndt at synge. Der må findes en diagnose, og derfor opsøger hun en terapeut. Sammen rekonstruerer de den traumatiske hændelse, der har taget talen fra hende. Hendes elskede Hamlet har dræbt Polonius, og hendes bror Laertes er på hævntogt. Samtidig er Claudius og Gertrud i gang med et intenst parterapi-forløb med delebarnet Hamlet som centrum. Gertrud elsker ham over alt på jorden, mens han er en torn i øjet på Claudius, og så kan anklagerne ellers flyve om ørerne. Mens alle andre får udredt deres livs kriser, glimrer hovedpersonen, Hamlet, ved sit fravær.
Anmelderrost teaterstykke om den virkelige medieskandale, hvor den unge stjernejournalist Claas Relotius skriver sig til tops gennem reportager fra verdens brændpunkter og vækker tiltrængt empati i en ellers polariseret og hadsk verden. Det eneste men er, at det hele er løgn. Så hvad skal hans kollega Juan gøre, da han opdager, at de inspirerende historier synes at stå på et råddentfundament? Et fundament, der hverken er drevet af etikeller sandhed. Hvornår helliger målet midlet? Kom med på en hæsblæsende jagt efter sandheden i en kompleksverden fuld af fiktion og følelser. Anmelderne kaldte Spejlmanden “Et mesterværk af smoke and mirrors” og skrev: “Føj, hvor Mungo Park tager røven på os, og for pokker, hvor føles det godt.”
Anna Malzers Tatovering er et spontant, ømt, rablenderun-down af en faderløs ungdom. Imens en kvinde i 20’erne forsøger at tage afsked med den far, som hun aldrig rigtig har kendt, trevler hun sin rå ungdom op, så man kan lugte kartoffelmosen fra Kentucky Fried Chicken og høre ekkoet af de afdøde amerikanske rappere til morgenfesterne – lige der hvor der tales 20 forskellige sprog i opgangene, men hvor få taler ét flydende. Det er absurd og morsom feminin selvjustits fra blokken, da hun hævngerrigt ydmyger sin meget ældre butikschef, fordi han lægger an på hende og veninden. Men det er også livsændrende alvor, når en af drengene drager i krig i Afghanistan og kommer tilbage i en kiste.

Og så er det beretningen omen mand, der modigt insisterer på, at kærligheden og mennesket kommer før alt andet.

LITTLE COMEDIES, an evening of five short plays by Anton Chekhov, span the author's career; this version of ON THE HARMFULNESS OF TOBACCO was one of the last pieces he wrote. Often presented as short farces or even one-note jokes, these plays are much more. Here characters struggle, are lost, unaware, scared ¿-¿ and always recognizably human. And as with Chekhov's great full-length plays, the "comedy" of these "comedies" is that of being profoundly human. LITTLE COMEDIES is newly translated by Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Pevear (the foremost translators of Russian literature into English alive today) and playwright Richard Nelson.

I sit here like I always do among the receipts of past transactions, old notes from old jobs, and my cell phone set to silent to get a break from the next job of fixing a mess made by some mod boss, overzealous housewife, or pig headed husband. "This city is filled with ills, and secrets. And my job is to make sure the things that should be known unknowns stay that way. Maybe you need my help fixing your situation, or maybe you are the thing I'm supposed to make sure never sees the light of day. In the end my job and my life are 2 separate things, the question is what effect you have on one, the other, or both."Lucian CoolThe Man Called Dragon is the first in a series of four books that are part of the series Darkland. Following the exploits of Lucian Cool during part of his time in Tavarus Cove, Delaware, USA. A former assassin turned private fixer and investigator, this first tale follows his first interaction with the eponymous man called "Dragon," and the various effects on both upstanding citizens, as well as those deep in the city's underworld of vice.
