Georg Terramare
Georg Terramare , actually Georg Eisler von Terramare (born December 2, 1889 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary ; died April 4, 1948 in La Paz , Bolivia ), was an Austrian playwright and director .
Life
The son of the Viennese industrialist Josef Eisler von Terramare and the Englishwoman Edith, b. Bles attended the Schottengymnasium in Vienna . He then studied at Cambridge and German at the Philosophical Faculty in Vienna, where he graduated in 1913 with the dissertation "Andreas Gryphius' Cardenio and Celinde in modern literature".
From 1922 he directed the very successful amateur theater group Wiener Schottenspiele , before working as a director in Bern , Hamburg and Troppau . In 1925 he received permission from the Vienna magistrate to use his noble name as a civil name. In 1939 he and his wife, the actress Erni Terrel, went into exile from Czechoslovakia via Italy to Bolivia, persecuted for "racial" reasons due to the Nuremberg Laws . There he founded the Kleine Casino-Bühne in October 1939 . At first they played weekly in a hotel. From 1941 a closer cooperation developed with the Federación de Austriacos Libres en Bolivia and when they moved into their own domicile in 1944, the theater ensemble also got a venue there.
He was best known for his Catholic mystery games ( A Game of Death, the Antichrist and the Last Things, etc.).
In 1959 the Terramaregasse in Vienna- Liesing was named after him.
His wife Erni Terrel (born November 2, 1906, † September 27, 1985, née Erna Beutel) joined forces with Fritz - whom she later married - and Ernst Kalmar after a guest performance at the FDB ( Free German Stage ) in Buenos Aires the chamber plays in Montevideo.
