Alpine Glow

by Peter Turrini, Richard Dixon (Translator)

He began writing as a critic of society and has remained among the political loyal opposition to the present day.

About the author

Peter Turrini is an Austrian leftist playwright.
Born in Carinthia, Turrini has been writing since 1971, when his play Rozznjogd premiered at the Volkstheater, Vienna. A versatile author, he has written plays, screenplays, poems, and essays. Rather than presenting an authentic picture of reality, in Turrini's understanding it is the function of the theatre to exaggerate and, by doing so, to raise the consciousness of the public.
He lives in Vienna and Retz, Lower Austria.
