Drums in the Night (2005)

The Great War is over. Berlin is in chaos and Anna must finally accept that her lover Kragler, missing in action for four years, will never return. Until one night, as the moon hangs red in the sky, he appears like a ghost to discover her pregnant and engaged to another man. In the boozy battle of wills that follows, she banishes him to the darkness where he is swept up into the street riots consuming the city.

Funny, passionate, complex and confused, Brink Productions' audacious new Australian translation by Finegan Kruckemeyer is a blistering and beautiful parable that says much about a world at war with terror.
