Foreign Not Foreign – Plays
Fremd nicht fremd
Edition Ovidia | 2024
This is the world of foreignness in all its facets. This collection unfolds a sophisticated fusion of five humorous, lighthearted plays that reflect the delicate topic of foreignness.

Good Luck, Foreigner! – a monologue. An intense monologue about life as a foreigner, illuminated with subtlety. 5. Šemso – a monologue for two people.
