Marius von Mayenburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marius von Mayenburg (born 1972 in Munich) is a German playwright, translator and also instructor.
In 1994 Mayenburg began studies at Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. Haarmann, his first play, was performed for the very first time at Baracke (Deutsches Theater in Berlin) in 1996.
Fireface (German: "Feuergesicht"), which Mayenburg wrote in 1997, came to be his breakthrough as a dramatist. The play was performed on Kammerspiele in Munich the following year. Then it was played on Kleist Theater in Frankfurt (Oder) and at Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg. The performance of "Fireface" in Hamburg is the play of Mayenburg that has by now gained the most attention.
For Fireface Mayenburg was awarded Kleistförderpreis für junge Dramatiker and Preis der Frankfurter Autorenstiftung.
