The Time and The Spaces
Since the early seventies, Peter Handke has filled thousands of pages in notebooks. The slim books, which have to fit in every shirt and jacket pocket, are indispensable companions on every journey. They are used to record ideas for literary projects, but, most importantly, things that Handke has seen, read and heard. »I practised reacting to everything that happened to me immediately...

The Innocent, Me and the Unknown Woman by the Side of the Road
The time frame, in which the new play by Peter Handke is set, is clearly denoted: it spans over »four seasons«. The place: a country road, a »common country road«? The protagonists: »I«, who is seated by the side of this country road. And who can transform from a dramatic player into an epic narrator.
»I« regards this road as »the last free road in this world, the last...
