Botho Strauss' Schlusschor
Botho Strauss’ three-act play Schlusschor can be seen as the most important post-unification play from a West German perspective. Set in the last years of the old FRG and, with its third act, in that very night the Berlin wall falls, it shows a rich panoramic picture of mentalities on individual and national levels. At that point Strauss was well established as a playwright and prose-writer chronicling the developments of the West German mind during the 1970s and 1980s.
