Ernst Drolinvaux

Ernst Drolinvaux (* 1917 ; † 1999 ) was a German writer , editor , theater critic, as well as author and director of radio plays and films .

Life

Ernst Drolinvaux wrote his first works during the Second World War , which he performed under the British military government . From the beginning of 1948 at the latest, he worked as a theater critic for the daily newspaper Hannoversche Presse . A reading from his radio play Zeppelin Dora 052 in the Week of Young Authors on the stage of the Hannoversche Kammerspiele , organized by the Junge Bühne , was followed by the world premiere of his play Die kleine Nachtausgabe . The play, which Drolinvaux himself staged as a deliberate “pure theater” borrowed from Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera and caused outrage and laughter from the audience when it was first performed, while the actors on the Junge Bühne celebrated the work.

Drolinvaux's adaptation of the play The Persians by the Greek poet Aeschylus , which was shown in Kiel at the end of October 1948 in a staging by Gustav Rudolf Sellner , had "extraordinary success" with the audience.

In the early post-war period in particular , he wrote radio plays for Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) and later also for Radio Bremen (RB), for example as drama , crime thriller or satire . Sometimes he directed it himself, sometimes Klaus Stieringer or Hans Rosenhauer . Among his speakers were, for example, Hannes Messemer or Günther Neutze , while Eduard Hanisch composed the music several times.

Ernst Drolinvaux was buried in 1999 at the Burgwedel-Kleinburgwedel municipal cemetery in the Hanover region .
