Three key works for the stage about the clash of the individual and society (The Fire Raisers, Count Oederland, Andorra), by the German-Swiss novelist/playwright. The first and last, a curriculum staple in German-speaking countries, are by some margin the most successful German language plays of all time, with respectively 250 and 230 productions up until 1996. Awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1986, and the Heinrich Heine prize of the city of Düsseldorf in 1989 amongst many other honours. "The Fire Raisers... claims a definite place in European literature." –The Times
