Hamletmachine (in German, Die Hamletmaschine) is a postmodernist drama by German playwright and theatre director Heiner Müller.
 Written in 1977, the play is loosely based on "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare.
 The play originated in relation to a translation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" that Müller undertook.
 Some critics claim the play problematizes the role of intellectuals during the East German Communism area; others argue that the play should be understood in relation to wider post-modern concepts.
 Characteristic of the play is that it is not centred on a conventional plot, but partially connects through sequences of monologues, where the protagonist leaves his role and reflects on being an actor.
The Mission: Memory of a Revolution (Der Auftrag: Erinnerungen an eine Revolution), also known as "The Task", is a postmodern drama by the (formerly East) German playwright Heiner Müller.

Stock' studio space of the Volksbühne in Berlin (opening on 16 November).
 Müller also directed a full-house production in 1982 at the Bochum Theatre in West Germany.

Allan David Bloom (September 14, 1930 – October 7, 1992) was an American philosopher, classicist, and academician.
 He studied under David Grene, Leo Strauss, Richard McKeon, and Alexandre Kojève.
 He subsequently taught at Cornell University, the University of Toronto, Yale University, École Normale Supérieure of Paris, and the University of Chicago.
 Bloom championed the idea of Great Books education and became famous for his criticism of contemporary American higher education, with his views being expressed in his bestselling 1987 book, "The Closing of the American Mind".
 Characterized as a conservative in the popular media, Bloom denied that he was a conservative, and asserted that what he sought to defend was the 'theoretical life'.
 Saul Bellow wrote "Ravelstein", a roman à clef based on Bloom, his friend and colleague at the University of Chicago.
