English abstract
The chapter discusses the reception of the work of contemporary playwright Howard Barker in the theatres of Vienna, where it has been given multiple notable productions. The piece problematizes issues of audience taste and perception, accounting for cultural sensibilities and local specificities, while also tracing the substantial differences in how Barker's work is treated in the UK and in Continental Europe.
