Push Up
Regular price
€17.99
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.
Everyone wants to get to the executive suite. Everyone wants the Delhi job. Everyone wants sex, everyone wants love. So, they push for it.
Roland Schimmelpfennig's play Push Up was first performed at the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz, Berlin, in November 2001. It was premiered in this English translation by Maja Zade at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in February 2002.
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.
