Since 1999/2000 the Goethe-Institut theatre library has provided a summary of each season's major new plays. Details given include a brief synopsis of the play and short biography of the author, a list of works and information on the cast, premiere and translations of the work, providing interested parties abroad with an insight into what's currently going on in German theatre.
For easy access this information is also supplied in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Russian.
The plays are selected by an expert jury.
