Who wants to read a play if he's not acting it?

who?

Dens, I would. Many times! you should try it sometimes, can be very plesent experience!

Interesting play. If I could ever find it in Dutch…it seems to be difficult to find.

@ Hey Dens,
Like a bathroom singer, you can always try to act at home. Try Adolf as the Oberste Gerichtsherr, it surely should give a great kick.

Dens, you could always bluf it by namedropping (as Johannes calls it) - it's very easy. Just say Beckett. Ibsen. Or throw in a few titles: An Inspector Calls. Antigone. Oh and Shakespeare of course. Although: to be gullible and honest are preferable traits.

Noa, I don't get your comment. What's the meaning?

The meaning is: you don't actually have to read the plays, you could always opt to pretend you've read them by casually dropping names of playwrites and plays, which is what I always do. But then again, why would you? So forget I mentioned it. I would like to know however - are you an actor?

Yes. I've done some acting. I've teached some acting. I'm learning my words for a play in November (I'm glad to've heard that I'll be back in Belgium in october). Mystero Buffo, Dario Fo (that's some namedropping, innit)

The Cannibals

This is the only play by Tabori I've read, since it's the only one by him I've been able to find. I know he's written others. I'd certainly like to read more--in a piece I did on Peter Barnes I said that Cannibals was the one play I'd read that compared with Barnes' body of work in English, and that I was sorry I'd been unable to read more by him.
Peter Barnes is gone too, died in 2004. You and I are going to have to take up the slack in the world of theatre, Arnon

Who is Peter Barnes, I don't know him.

Peter Barnes

Author of The Bewitched, The Ruling Class, Leonardo's Last Supper, Noonday Demons, Laughter!, Dreaming, Sunsets and Glories and a considerable number of other plays. The Ruling Class is probably the best known, since it was made into a film starring Peter O'Toole, though his adaptation of Enchanted April did well in theatres also. To my mind the greatest playwright in English of the 20th century--though as I say the one play of Tabori's I've managed to read belongs in Peter Barnes' company.
