The Double Bass
By Patrick Süskind
This is the monolog of an anonymous man who plays the sixth double bass in an orchestra. He makes naïve attempts to understand why his personal and professional life has failed. He is the “little man,” but his anger, his dreams, and his desires are huge.
Premiere: the Habima theater, November 2001
