Der Spiegel called Ferdinand von Schirach a ‘great storyteller’, the New York Times an ‘extraordinary stylist’, the Independent compared him to Kafka and Kleist, the Financial Times to Raymond Carver, and the Daily Telegraph wrote that he was ‘one of the most distinctive voices in European literature’. His books have been made into numerous films and have sold millions of copies to become international bestsellers. They have been published in more than forty countries. His theatre plays ‘Terror’ and ‘God’ are among the most successful and most discussed dramas of our time worldwide.
In August 2023, Ferdinand von Schirach's new book REGEN. A story that Ferdinand von Schirach is now performing as a monologue on stage himself: A man comes out of the rain into a bar - onto the stage - and talks about the great and the terrible of our time, about human dignity, loneliness, love, loss and failure.
Ferdinand von Schirach's REGEN is a play that is as courageous as it is very personal, a play on the border between stage character and author.
