This volume contains seven plays, written between 1906 and 1926, which demonstrate the basic forms, tenets and preoccupations of German Expressionist drama, which has been described as the forerunner of Absurdist theatre and is characterized by both visual and verbal violence. These plays, taken together, offer an excellent introduction to the entire movement. Kokoschka's Murderer, Hope of Womankind, for example, has that strong ritualistic quality which characterizes so many other Expressionist writings, and Stramm's terrifying Awakening recalls the threatening absurdities of Ionesco's theatre. These plays, with their visionary elements and their timeless quality, speak as clearly to audiences today as they did at the time of their creation.

Oskar Kokoschka (1886–1980) was an Austrian artist, poet and playwright. Franz Kafka (1883–1924) was one of the giants of twentieth-century German literature. His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world. Ernst Barlach (1870–1938) was a German expressionist sculptor, printmaker and writer. One of the most prolific writers connected with the Expressionist Movement, Georg Kaiser (1878– 1945) is best remembered for his phenomenally successful play From Morning to Midnight.
