“The Beautiful September 27th” is a poem by Thomas Brasch. He wrote it on a seemingly insignificant day and tells us everything he didn't do that day. It is one of the most beautiful poems by the writer, playwright and filmmaker, about whom the theater man Claus Peymann said his life was a “wild novel,” “a novel about East and West.”



Born in the English exile of Jewish-communist parents, grew up and became unruly in the GDR, which he left in 1976, never to arrive in the Federal Republic of Germany, and certainly not in the unified Germany. In his poems, plays and films, he confronts social contradictions astutely, powerfully and originally with an urgency that is more relevant than ever.


In her debut novel “From now on there is peace” Marion Brasch tells the story of her family. Here she puts her big brother Thomas in the spotlight. What did he long for and grieve for? What drove him away from his family and ultimately his country? In a collage of text, scenes and film, she has woven these questions into a story, which will be brought to the stage on a beautiful September 27th by Albrecht Schuch and Marion Brasch.
