Heiner Müller was born in Eppendorf, eastern Germany, in 1929 and died in Berlin in 1995. He was one of the major writers of the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and indisputably one of the most important European dramatists of the latter half of the 20th Century. His 30 plays helped reconfigure the notion of modern theater in Continental Europe and the English-speaking world. A number of his most important works (Hamletmachine, Quartett, Medea Material, The Mission) have been translated and staged in many parts of the world.
