Three Plays

Drama. Translated from the German by Michael Bullock. The three plays collected in this volume—"Santa Cruz," "Now They're Singing Again," and "Rip van Winkle"—were the first of Max Frisch's dramatic works to reach the public. Now for the first time they appear in English, thanks to the translation skills of Michael Bullock. These three plays are of special interest both to students of modern drama and admirers of Frisch.

Max Frisch (1911-1991) was born in Zürich, Switzerland. In a writing career that spanned six decades, Frisch firmly established himself as one of the most striking voices of modern literature. He began by writing short fiction, then novels and finally a series of plays that have since conquered the stage.
