!!!Arbeitertheater

Workers' Theatre: Under the aegis of E. Pernerstorfer and S. Grossmann 
the "Freie Volksbuehne", a theatrical association without a 
permanent home, was founded in Vienna in 1908. It was intended to give 
the working class access to the works of German classical and 
contemporary dramatists, an endeavour which was only partly 
successful; between the two wars it served as the cabaret and agitprop 
stage of the "Rote Spieler" ("Red Players" - members of the 
Socialist Workers' Youth). The authors whose works were performed 
included J.  Soyfer.
