Three Plays by Eckhard Gerdes

By Eckhard Gerdes

Who knew that novelist Eckhard Gerdes was also a playwright? Members of the audience who saw the absurdist play 'S A BIRD first performed at the Chopin Theatre in Chicago in 1994 did, and they almost died laughing in the process. The children of King-Edison Elementary School in Macon, Georgia, did when they argued about who would get to play which character in CLOCKWISE in their school production in 2000. And a few dozen close friends of Eckhard Gerdes did when they read the script of THE DEATH OF ANTON WEBERN, a play that has until now never been published or performed. These three plays offered here are very different from one another, but all show that distinctive voice and personality for which the writing of Eckhard Gerdes has become known. Enjoy these glimpses into the mind of one of America's most innovative novelists as he depicts the drama and absurdity of human relationships."A writer clearly impatient with the currently devalued conventions of modern writing. His work is a fresh wind!" -Michael Moorcock
