Produktbeschreibung

Best Play - Evening Standard Awards - 20231964: Richard Burton, the firebrand Welsh actor, newly married to movie star Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new production of Hamlet under the exacting direction of John Gielgud.But as rehearsals progress, the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel. One of them is the most famous movie star in the world; the other, a patrician from an earlier age of theatre. The stage is set for two titans to collide.Jack Thorne's The Motive and the Cue is a fierce, funny play which offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. This edition was published alongside the West End transfer in 2023, following its world premiere at the National Theatre, London, earlier that year. Originally commissioned and co-produced by Neal Street Productions, it was directed by Sam Mendes, and starred Johnny Flynn as Burton, Mark Gatiss as Gielgud and Tuppence Middleton as Taylor. It was named Best Play at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards in 2023.'Marvellous... a quite wonderful new play... full of compassion, funny, witty and utterly compelling... This play is Thorne and Mendes's own love letter to the stage, full of both intellect and passion, clever and profoundly moving' - WhatsOnStage'Enjoyable and hugely adroit' - Evening Standard'Witty, deft, and touching... a palpable hit' - Telegraph'Magical... deeply affecting... not just a heartfelt plea for the power of theatre, but a moving, often very funny, story about two generations teasing and provoking one another' - Independent'Fascinating... a dual of egos in which not just the play, but the two men's sense of their selves is at stake' - The Stage

Was passiert, wenn ein 78-jähriger Mann nach dem Tode seiner Frau nicht mehr leben möchte? Der Mann ist weder krank noch depressiv, sondern einfach lebensmüde - er hat keine Freude mehr an seinem Leben.
Soll ein Arzt ihm dabei helfen und ihm ein Medikament, das ihn tötet, verschreiben? Oder soll der Arzt das ablehnen und damit riskieren, dass der Mann vom Balkon springt? Dieses birgt wiederum die Gefahr, dass der Suizid misslingt und der Patient paralysiert zurückbleibt.
Darf man selbst über sein Leben bestimmen?

GOTT
Ferdinand von Schirach
Ein Theaterstück

Der Ethikrat kommt zusammen und soll klären, ob Herr Gärtner mithilfe seiner Ärztin Suizid begehen darf.
Anwesend ist die Ärztin des Betroffenen, sein Rechtsanwalt, eine Rechtssachverständige sowie ein medizinischer und ein theologischer Sachverständiger.
Argumente dafür und dagegen werden aufgeführt, am Ende soll das Publikum entscheiden, ob Herr Gärtner das Medikament bekommt oder nicht.

Wie immer lässt Ferdinand von Schirach mich zum Fähnchen im Wind werden. In dem einen Moment denke ich: Na klar darf er über sein Leben entscheiden! Doch in der nächsten Sekunde kippe ich schon wieder um, genau in dem Moment, wo eine Frau sterben will, weil sie vor sechs Jahren, mit 25, bei einem Unfall ein Kind totgefahren hat. Sie konnte nichts dafür. Alle haben mir verziehen, aber ich selbst kann mir nicht verzeihen. (S. 106) Nein, natürlich darf diese Frau sich nicht umbringen!
Ferdinand von Schirach ist ein Meister der Erzählkunst, man wird in die Geschichte eingesogen und kann sich dem sensiblen und hochemotionalen Thema nicht entziehen.
Ein wunderbares Buch zum Diskutieren, hervorragend auch für die Oberstufe im Ethikunterricht geeignet.
Ein schmales Buch, das schnell gelesen ist und lange nachwirken wird.

Am Ende bleibt die Frage: Darf man Gott spielen?
5/ 5
Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.
