First produced in 1998 at the famous Vienna Burgtheater, the remarkable and provocative Sports Play by Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek is a postdramatic theatrical exploration of the making, marketing and sale of the human body and of emotions in sport. It explores contemporary society's obsession with fitness and body culture bringing into sharp focus our need to belong to a group, a team or a nation. Sport is seen as a form of war in peacetime.
Elfriede Jelinek is an Austrian playwright and novelist. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004, the Georg Büchner Prize in 1998, the Mulheim Dramatists Prize in 2002 and 2004, the Franz Kafka Prize in 2004, and the Nobel Prize in Literature, also in 2004. Her work is multi-faceted and highly controversial, as is her political activism.
