Stone

A programme text edition published to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 5 February 2009. 'This is our house underneath all this mildew and junk. I know every stone.' As a house passes from owner to owner, and from generation to generation, the secrets buried in the garden and seeping from the walls reveal themselves. Marius von Mayenburg's new play examines the reverberations created by sixty years of German history. Praise for Marius von Mayenburg's The Ugly One: 'Brilliantly clever and funny ...exhilarating.'
