20 February 2024 - 20 April 2024
Patrick Marber directs the UK premiere of Nachtland*, coming to the Young Vic in February 2024.
Written by one of Germany’s foremost playwrights Marius von Mayenburg and translated by Maja Zade, Nachtland is a mordant satire about marriage, legacy, the rise of the new right, and terrible impulses buried deep.
*Nachtland is an invented German word. It suggests a place of eternal darkness.
Nachtland runs from 20 February 2024 to 20 April 2024 at the Young Vic, London
What's the story of Nachtland?
‘Do you want this hanging over your kitchen table to remind you of your Daddy?’
Modern day Germany. Nicola and Philipp argue as they clear out their late father’s house. When they find an old painting stashed in the attic, things get savage.
The painting is a quaint street scene from 1920s Vienna; the work of a failed artist who abandoned his original vocation for Nazism… Nicola wants to sell it. Philipp wants to keep it. His wife Judith wants to burn it.
Who are the creative team of Nachtland?
Written by Marius von Mayenburg. Translated by Maja Zade. Direction by Patrick Marber with design by Anna Fleischle.
