The translation by Gerould and Kosicka is deft and stageable. In fact, the play would make an excellent cartoon with its talking head and bloodless murders. Gerould's informative introduction provides the necessary context for understanding the play and its multitude of intertextual references. He combines biographical and literary history with an insightful examination of the sources and artistic merits of the play.<br> On the level of satirical commentary, the play remains surprisingly fresh. In every instance, Your Murderer is a parable that resists simple allegorical readings. <br>-Sharon Marie Carnicke, Slavic and East European Journal, Spring 2002 <br>
