Ritter, Dene, Voss

Ritter, Dene, Voss is a stage play by Thomas Bernhard from 1986. After the Premiere the same year at the Salzburger Festspiele under the direction of Claus Peymann, the play was taken into the repertoire of the Burgtheater in Vienna. It was named after the three actors that were to play the roles in the world-premiere: Ilse Ritter, Kirsten Dene and Gert Voss. Thomas Bernhard started off writing it with a note saying "Ritter, Dene, Voss. intelligent actors". The play was inspired by the family of Ludwig Wittgenstein and his (Wittgensteins) nephew Paul, who was a friend of Bernhard and protagonist of his novel "Wittgensteins Nephew" from 1982. This DVD is a 1987 recording from the Akademietheater Vienna with Ilse Ritter, Kirsten Dene and Gert Voss.
