Ritter, Dene, Voss October 10, 2010

In 'Ritter, Dene, Voss' (named for the three actors who premiered the original 1986 production in German), Thomas Bernhard explores sexual repression and sibling rivalry. The play involves two sisters -- both actresses -- and their attempts at reintegrating their volatile brother into their home. The brother, a tormented genius (loosely based on last century's great, idiosyncratic philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein), has just returned from a mental health institute, complicating the dynamics between the three siblings.
