TOMORROW IN QATAR

Theresia Walser’s plays build on her deft, light-handed style and keen instinct for bitter-sweet comedy to retrieve the irony and double meanings from everyday scenarios. 

Her plays reveal the monstrous in the banal and the grotesque in the tragic: Walser eavesdrops on a chat between three women (who are all married to dictators), observes the strained tempers on a stopped train escalating into a fist-fight and witnesses the cut-throat competition between department store salespeople. Walser’s shimmering, vivacious scenes and darkly witty dialogue produce fascinatingly nuanced human dramas.
