More on Heiner Müller
Description from Wikipedia:
Heiner Müller (January 9, 1929 – December 30, 1995) was a (formerly East) German dramatist, poet, writer, essayist and theatre director. Described as "the theatre's greatest living poet" since Samuel Beckett, Müller is arguably the most important German dramatist of the 20th century after Bertolt Brecht. His "enigmatic, fragmentary pieces" are a significant contribution to postmodern drama. ==Biography==
Müller was born in Eppendorf, Saxony. He joined the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, SED) in 1947 and began serving for the German Writers' Association (Deutscher Schriftsteller-Verband, DSV) in 1954. Müller became one of the most important dramatists of the German Democratic Republic and won the Heinrich Mann Prize in 1959 and the Kleist Prize in 1990.
His relationship with the East German state began to deteriorate, however, with his drama Die Umsiedlerin (The Resettler Woman) which was censored in 1961 after only one performance. Müller was banned from the Writers' Association in the same year. The East German government remained wary of Müller in subsequent years, preventing the premiere of Der Bau (Construction Site) in 1965 and censoring his Mauser in the early 1970s. Müller began to work with West German ensembles and theater houses in the 1970s and 80s, directing premières of some of his best-known works in Munich (Germania Tod in Berlin (Germania Death in Berlin), 1978), Essen (Die Hamletmaschine (Hamletmachine), 1979) and Bochum (Der Auftrag (The Mission), 1982).
