Lit.: anonym: Anaesthesia. In web Play For Voices, říjen 2018 (článek + nahrávka k poslechu). – Cit.: Anaesthesia is a short solo audio play written by acclaimed German author Albert Ostermaier and translated by Charlotte Collins. In Anaesthesia, which was commissioned by the major German theater festival Theatertreffen on the theme of “Decline and Downfall of Western Civilization,” a singer injured in a car accident on her way to a performance struggles to make sense of what is happening to her as an anaesthetic is administered. The play emerges as a stream-of-consciousness monologue which is at once dreamlike, intimate, and tautly constructed.
The Play for Voices production of Anaesthesia was performed by Jane Kaczmarek and directed by Sarah Montague. Matt Fidler designed and mixed the audio.
Play for Voices audio plays are recorded at Harvestworks by audio engineer Kevin Ramsay. Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.
