Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Yellow Wallpaper, directed by Katie Mitchell (Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz in Berlin, premiere: 14.02.2013). The author sketches the socio-historical background behind Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story (set in the "golden" American middle class during the Industrial Revolution), in which Mitchell helps us see contemporary Berlin. Thomas Irmer makes an in-depth analysis of the technical and dramaturgical strategies by which the British director reaches the crux of the plays she stages, often based on non-theatrical materials.
