Franz Xaver Kroetz was born in Munich, West Germany in 1946, the son of a government tax official.
Kroetz claims to have made his last Confession at the age of 14 and formally left the Church at 20.
Mensch Meier, a family drama written shortly before Kroetz broke with the Party, marks a return to his earlier techniques and ideology and proved to be the playwright's first widespread popular and financial success when it had its world premiere in four simultaneous productions in 1978.

By Franz Xaver Kroetz translated by Anthony Vivis
Franz Xaver Kroetz is German and despite some feel of Pinter's menace, it is hard to believe that any British playwright could have written a piece like this.
There may not be too much cheer in Kroetz's conclusion but he does strip two limited people bar, thus exploring the ways in which human beings will treat each other.

 Frank Theatre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Franz X. Kroetz is one of a handful of German dramatists who began to impact world theatre in the 1970's.
The writers were linked not only by their language and their shared political concerns, but also by their desire to free the stage from it's use as a source of debilitating illusion, "by breaking through the dominant theatrical conventions."
Kroetz's genius is in presenting "naked, immediate, and unestheticized gesture and image," in an extraordinarily compact structure.

Die Sucht nach Ruhm und schnellen Autos, Eitelkeit und Egomanie – all das gepaart mit Selbstzweifeln, Schreibhemmungen und Angst vor dem Älterwerden: Kroetz' Dichterfiguren in seinen ungewaschenen Stories sind nicht unbedingt sympathisch, aber sie spiegeln seine Überzeugung, dass nur der künstlerisch etwas schafft, der sich rücksichtslos auf seine Arbeit konzentriert.
Und doch kommt der Dichter an der Einsicht nicht vorbei, dass früher, als er noch arm und rebellisch war, alles irgendwie leichter ging.
