Lutz Hübner (with his co-author Sarah Nemitz) is the most performed contemporary playwright in the German-speaking world. He writes sharp dialogues that make the contradictions and pressures in our society painfully yet comically understandable. Hübner states, "One must provide food for thought without peddling messages. One must build small submarines to reach the audience." This volume brings together his four latest plays. "Willkommen" brings the discussion about tolerance into a shared kitchen of a middle-class flat. "Wunschkinder" deals with the fine line between parental care and stifling overreach. "Abend über Potsdam" describes the radicalization process of the late Weimar Republic through a drifting circle of friends, and "Phantom" depicts the struggle for survival of a migrant worker in Germany.
