In Hampton's translation of Tales from the Vienna Woods (staged at the RNT in 1977) von Horváth portrays, with compassion and impartiality, the interplay between individual selfishness and the pressures of a society in crisis. Italian Night, in this new translation by Meredith Oakes, has a group of friends deciding to hold a republican 'Italian Night', only to discover the fascists have chosen the same day for a German Day parade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ödön Von Horváth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Modern Playwrights\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.15w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840021523","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428532015241,"sku":"9781840021523","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f2e58f32-3a0c-4929-be0b-d8a8035f5efc.jpg?v=1778011490","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/von-horvath-plays-two-italian-night-tales-from-the-vienna-woods-9781840021523","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
