Peter Turrini

    September 26, 1944

    Peter Turrini is an Austrian leftist playwright whose work uses exaggeration to elevate public consciousness. Rather than presenting an authentic picture of reality, he believes theatre's function is to magnify and provoke thought. His diverse output, spanning plays, screenplays, poems, and essays since 1971, is celebrated for its distinctive voice. Turrini's provocative approach has secured his significance in Austrian literature.
