Scenes and images in the work of German novelist and playwright Botho Strauss
Botho Strauss was born in 1944. worked as a theatre critic from 1967-70 and in 1971 began a collaboration with director Peter Stein. Little known or appreciated in this country, the recent London production of his epic Gross und Klein did nothing to endear him to critics or public - despite the fact that he is one of post-war Germany's most original voices.
