Schauspielhaus

The story of the Schauspielhaus begins in 1978, when the viennese theatre director and leader of the group “Werkstatt“ Hans Gratzer converted an old cinema in the 9th district into a functional theatre space. It opened on May 4th in the same year with Jean Genets „The Balcony“.
Hans Gratzer was both the general and artistic director of theatre, apart from a short interruption, for 20 years until 2001. In the years 1987- 90 George Tabori was the artistic director of the theatre and established his concept of theatre as „der Kreis“ (The Circle).
