The Assistant

Summary/Abstract: Wojtek Klemm's account of the work methods employed by Frank Castorff and the theatre that he created. Drawing from his experience as assistant to the director, the author offers a very broad insight into the manner in which plays were created and characteristic elements of his work, not only with the actors or audiences, but also with the technical crew. This all makes for an extremely colourful, lively portrait of Castorf as an unusually talented director and allows us to examine the foundations from which his dramatic and, at times, authoritarian empire rose.
