Max: A Play is a stage adaptation of Grass' novel Local Anesthetic. I read the novel almost 20 years ago. The primary tension in the novel as well as the play is between generations, a pair of students and a pair of their teachers, separated by largely twenty years. One of the students wishes to protest the Vietnam War by incinerating his dog in a posh area of West Berlin. There was an echo and rippling vertigo while reading a second version of the events, one almost a generation or so after my initial encounter. Debate ensues about action, resistance and the folly of activism. Matters then appear quaint -- or at least sincere.
There is a fifth character, a dentist and like Lear's Fool - he has all the best lines. One of the teachers harbors a secret, she attempted to denounce a neighbor during WWII: she is plagued by this memory. It is fair to think that the author did as well.
