About the Book

“I have a right to appear here. Otherwise, who will listen to me? Where should I talk about myself, if not here?” Ultimo has a degree in piracy from Mogadishu University of Applied Sciences. Tofdau won’t rest until his story’s told. Sergeant Pellner and Officer Dorsch are sailing up the Hindu Kush in search of Lieutenant Colonel Deutinger in the rainforest of Afghanistan. And at his parents’ home in Bad Rippoldsau, Wolfram Lotz is experiencing writer’s block. Critically acclaimed dark comedy The Ridiculous Darkness, by award-winning German playwright Wolfram Lotz, is a surreal, hilarious and powerful response to Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now that invites us to rethink colonial narratives, confront our ideas of each other and question what we imagine is in the darkness. Four black femmes. Three revered White Male Writers. Two classic works. A radical deconstruction.

About the Author :
Wolfram Lotz writes theatre and radio plays, poetry and prose and has already been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Audience Prize of the play competition at the Berlin Theatertreffen 2010 as well as the Kleist Foerderpreis 2011 for Der Grosse Marsch. The original Burgtheater production of The Ridiculous Darkness (Die Laecherliche Finsternis) was invited to Theatertreffen Berlin as well as Muehlheimer Theatertage in 2015. Theatre Heute Magazine named him as ‘Emerging Playwright of the Year’ in 2011 and ‘Dramatist of the Year’ in 2015. Daniel Brunet is a director, performer, producer and translator. Recent work includes the 2013 documentary theatre piece Echter Berliner !!!! Ihr nicht Fuck You which Brunet directed, devised and performed in, the world premiere of the play Schwarz gemacht by Alexander Thomas in 2014, the bilingual performance Knick-Knack to the Future | Ruckzuck in die Zukunft, created with the artist collective copy & waste and invited to the 2015 steirischer herbst festival and the world premiere of Amy Evan’s play The Most Unsatisfied Town (April 2016). Brunet has received a Literature Fellowship in Translation from the National Endowment of the Arts, amongst other awards, for his translations of German plays by writers including Wolfram Lotz, Dea Loher, Falk Richter, Roland Schimmelpfennig and Heiner Müller. His translations and essays have been published in PEN America, The Mercurian, Asymptote, Theater, TheatreForum, Contemporary Theatre Review, alt.theatre and MiGAZIN.
