Der letzte Raum

Über

The Living Room is a 1953 play by Graham Greene; it was the first play he wrote in his career. The play consists of two acts, each of two scenes and is set entirely in the living room of Rose Pemberton and her two elderly aunts who live with the aunts' brother James, a disabled Roman Catholic priest. The aunts have a long running fear of death in the house, with any bedroom being locked away from further use following a death of its resident family member. The story resolves around the introduction of Rose's new lover, Michael Dennis to the family. It later transpires that Michael is married when his suicidal wife arrives at the house.
