Original Playwright - Franz Xaver Kroetz, translated by Estella Schmid and Anthony Vivis
Synopsis:
Franz Xaver Kroetz's superb 1978 play Tom Fool takes us back to the moment when women finally began to change the rules of the game. Liam Brennan's Otto Meier is a superb portrait of what still passed, in 1970s Germany, for an ordinary working man. Obsessed with the minute hierarchies of his factory workplace, used to taking his wife Martha completely for granted and inclined to see his stroppy 16-year-old son as a rival rather than a child in his care, Otto finds his world shattered when a terminal row with his son drives Martha to pack her bag and leave, leaving him alone to deal with the insecurities and alienations of his working life. In 20-odd powerful scenes, each with a title like a sitcom episode, Kroetz charts this story of breakdown with a wonderful, rich yet cold-eyed hyperrealism that is his hallmark, and without a hint of polemic, either way.

Urge is centered on Otto and Hilde, married gardeners who make a living selling flower arrangements for funerals. Hilde’s brother Fritz has just been released from prison and is staying with Otto and Hilde until he can get back on his feet. Incarcerated for chronic indecent exposure, Fritz must take drive-reducing medication to prevent him from acting on his desires in public again. So meeting Hilde’s sexually desperate assistant, Mitzi, proves quite a challenge! All the while, Otto is convinced Fritz has more problems than just his uncontrollable libido, but while trying to figure that out he manages to discover the extent of his own unruly urges instead
