Ferdinand Bruckner

Ferdinand Bruckner (born Theodor Tagger; 26 August 1891 – 5 December 1958) was an Austrian-German writer and theater manager.

Although his works are relatively rarely revived, Krankheit der Jugend was put on at the Cottesloe stage of London's Royal National Theatre in 2009, under the title Pains of Youth.

[2][3] Bruckner's play Die Rassen under the title Race was revived in 2001, in New York, by the Classical Stage Company.

In the following years, he published several poetry collections and in 1917 he began the literary magazine Marsyas with texts from authors like Alfred Döblin and Hermann Hesse.

In 1953, twenty years after he left Germany, he returned to Berlin where he worked as an advisor to the Schiller Theater.
