I congratulate Eve with whom I have been collaborating beautifully for years, translating her plays. The recognition is twofold: the award itself is a great delight (also nominated were Nora Abdel-Maksoud with <em>Rabatt<\/em> and Lisa Wentz with <em>Azur oder die Farbe von Wasser<\/em>); but that it goes to a play that was not originally written in German deserves to be mentioned. I and we thank the jury for considering the play and then eventually even awarding it this prize. This recognises not only a more closely entangled international theatre landscape but also considers the people making it possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My thanks also goes to Tobias Herzberg, the director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schauspielhaus.at\/saltyirina\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.schauspielhaus.at\/saltyirina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schauspielhaus production<\/a> in Vienna, and the marvelous team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The translation of this play and those of the playwright&#8217;s other works are represented by Rowohlt Theaterverlag.
