- Summary
- Kaspar, Peter Handke's first full-length drama -- hailed in Europe as "the play of the decade" and compared in importance to Waiting for Godot -- is the story of an autistic adolescent who finds himself at a complete existential loss on the stage, with but a single sentence to call his own. Drilled by prompters who use terrifyingly funny logical and alogical language-sequences, Kaspar learns to speak "normally" and eventually becomes creative -- "doing his own thing" with words; for this he is destroyed. In Offending the Audience and Self-Accusation, one-character "speak-ins, " Handke further explores the relationship between public performance and personal identity, forcing us to reconsider our sense of who we are and what we know
