Books by Werner Schwab

Werner Schwab is one of Austria's most famous playwrights, second only to Thomas Bernhard in popularity. He was only 35 years old when he was found dead in his room following a New Year's Eve drinking spree in 1994. He was, at the time, the undisputed star of German-speaking theatre who effortlessly rose to fame for his unique talent with language and his darkly humorous, confrontational narratives. In only four years, he completed fifteen plays with Dead at Last, No More Air (Endlich tot, endlich keine luft mehr) being his last. Marking two decades since the playwright's death, this is the first English-language publication of a forgotten masterpiece.
