Push Up

A savage satire on the rapacious nature of office lives and lusts - the British debut from a writer whose work has been seen in prestigious theatres all over Germany.

'An attack on corporate life enacted in a sequence of cunning dialogues... formally elegant and crisply expressed'

'An arresting piece... makes one hope that the Royal Court will import more of Schimmelpfennig's work'

Roland Schimmelpfennig has had work performed in theatres all over Germany, including three of the most prestigious: the Schaubuhne in Berlin, the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg and the Resindenztheater in Munich. He was until recently a dramaturg at the Schaubuhne, very much the Berlin equivalent of the Royal Court in London. Another of his plays, Arabian Night, will premiere at the Soho Theatre in the West End in April 2002.
