Peter Handke's ARANJUEZ ( BEAUTIFUL DAYS OF.). "A Summer Dialog".... WILL HAVE ITS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PREMIER AT THEATER Y IN CHICAGO IN MY TRANSLATION IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR 2015 

http://theatre-y.com/

i wasn't going to let anything interfere with the completion of SCREEN MEMORIES, nor translate at all any more. However, friends in Chicago prevailed  & I am delighted they did.  Besides, aside some months of rewriting and a few bits SCREEN MEMORIES is done.

What a piece of  European poetic eroticism ARANJUEZ  is! Handke's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and  the language is what's hot, geil, Shakespeare thus enjoins the audience's imagination. The mood is autumnal, but precise..

Schiller, Don Carlos, 1. ASkt, 1.Auftritt:
Domingo.
Die schönen Tage in Aranjuez
Sind nun zu Ende. Eure königliche Hoheit
Verlassen es nicht heiterer. Wir sind
Vergebens hier gewesen. Brechen sie
Dies rätselhafte Schweigen; öffnen sie
Ihr Herz dem Vaterherzen, Prinz! Zu teuer
Kann der Monarch die Ruhe seines Sohns –
Des einz’gen Sohns – zu teuer nie erkaufen.

(Carlos sieht zur Erde und schweigt.)
