The Stückemarkt, alongside the International Forum and the Festival Newspaper is one
of the Theatertreffen’s three platforms for tt talent. Its objective is to discover new plays for the
theatre and promote authors. For 30 years it has been a springboard for the careers of
undiscovered playwrights from across Europe.
The 2007 Stückemarkt can also point to a very successful record: plays by the writers Arna Aley,
Maria Kilpi, Kai Ivo Baulitz, Volker Schmidt and Ali Taylor will all receive world premieres at
distinguished theatres during the course of the current season.
