Publisher's Synopsis
Latest in the successful Royal Court Writers Series by one of Germany's hottest new writers
"I've tried everything and the best is always simple. Take a bottle. Half fill it with petrol. Put it in styrofoam or a tube of glue and dissolve it. Put in fuel oil. Soak a rage in petrol and stuff it in a bottle. Set fire to the rag and throw the bottle through a window and into a building. It really works." An iconoclastic vision of contemporary family life, Marius von Mayenburg's Fireface received its UK premiere at the Royal Court Jerwood Upstairs in May 2000.
