Roland Schimmelpfennig has had work performed in theatres all over Germany, including three of the most prestigious: the Schaubuhne in Berlin, the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg and the Resindenztheater in Munich. He was until recently a dramaturg at the Schaubuhne, very much the Berlin equivalent of the Royal Court in London. Another of his plays, Arabian Night, will premiere at the Soho Theatre in the West End in April 2002.
