Talk:Rolf Hochhuth

message: Does anyone know whether Hochhuth was a citizen of free Germany or communist Germany   during the time he published his earlier plays? Knowing this may help one to understand the controversies relating to them.
The play Soldiers was not actually banned in the UK, as theatre censorship had ended before the play was available for production. The production of the play at the NT was cancelled, though, due to political controversy. It was soon produced in a commercial, West End production. I have clarified this in the article. Those interested should see the documentation appendiced in Laurence Olivier's autobiogrpahy, Confessions of an Actor.Jmc29

thread_title:  Hannah Arendt about "The Deputy" 

message: The reference to the anti-Hochhuth article of Ion Mihai Pacepa on “The Deputy” („National Review“, Jan. 25, 2007) in the References and External links section should be reconsidered. A deletion of this sparsely reliable source would be resonable. German conservative historian Thomas Brechenmacher strongly challenges the plausibility of Pacepa in the foremost German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ("Hochhuths Quellen. War der 'Stellvertreter' vom KGB inspiriert?", in: F.A.Z., April 26, 2007) with reference to numerous „inconsistencies“ (the files on Pius XII. were still treasured in the Vatican’s state secretariat in 1960, Casaroli still played a subaltern role at that time and could hardly have given Romanian spymasters insight into these documents, Hochhuth’s documentary appendix “Historical Sidelights” goes back on sources „that were available in print at that time”, etc.). --Diggindeeper 13:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  References to Pacepa and Irving 

message: The article refers to Soldiers opening in London with John Colicos in the cast.  It doesn't explicitly say that he played Churchill, though that would have been logical casting.  I have a strong recollection of having seen Richard Burton playing Churchill in this production.  Is it likely that Burton would have replaced Colicos in the role?  Usually one opens with the biggest star available, which would have been Burton not Colicos, but I suppose it is possible that Burton took the role over when his film commitments permitted....  Anyone able to clarify the facts here? Nandt1 (talk) 12:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It does seem to have been John Colicos. Burton made no stage appearances from 1966 to 1976. You may be thinking of Burton's role as Churchill in the 1974 TV film The Gathering Storm (UK title Walk With Destiny). Khamba Tendal (talk) 15:35, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: This statement is an interpretation of the reception history of a play with a major impact and thus needs a citation. If nobody comes up with one, we should delete it. --Diggindeeper (talk) 14:10, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
