Using extensive and untapped archival material as well as a series of in-depth interviews with Fassbinder's main theatre associates, this book offers commentary on and insights into Fassbinder's plays, his dramaturgies and staging practice. David Barnett helps to unlock the much discussed theatricality of Fassbinder's films by showing its many concrete sources. The first study of Fassbinder's work in the theatre, as a playwright and director, this book gives a full contextualisation of his work within the upheavals of its times. Readers are introduced to the cultural history of the West German theatre in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Radicalism in society meets experiment on stage as Fassbinder emerges from the cellar theatre scene of Munich, co-founds the antiteater and is then integrated into the most subsidised theatre in Europe, before being offered his own theatre to run for one fateful season.

"Barnett brings to this project the expertise of a scholar of contemporary German drama and theater history. His analysis of Fassbinder's work in different areas of the theater--as a stage actor, director and playwright--is informed by extensive archival research on the plays and the original productions as well as twenty interviews with central actors, ensemble members, and theater critics who followed his career." - Cynthia Walk, University of California, San Diego
