Einleitung „[...] wie ein Fettfleck auf dem Hemd.“1 Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit war ein Tondokument von Wilhelm Pevny aus dem Forschungsprojekt „Experimentelles Theater in Österreich 1945 – 1983“2. Dieses Projekt sollte das experimentelle Theatergeschehen in Österreich, abseits von den international bekannten Künstlern der Wiener Gruppe und des Wiener Aktionismus, näher betrachten und unbekannte Künstler ausfindig machen. Wilhelm Pevny war einer von ihnen, ein Theaterautor, der sich in der kleinen Wiener Avantgardeszene Ende der 1960er Jahre einen Namen machte. Das Cafétheater, eine Theatergruppe, die sich aus unerfahrenen, aber ambitionierten Theaterwissenschafts- studenten zusammensetzte, brachte seine Stücke zur Aufführung. Durch eine Wette gelangte sein Stück Sprintorgasmik im Dezember 1969 am New Yorker Theater La MaMa zur Uraufführung

Specifically, this investigation focuses on the American LGBTQ community, who have historically demonstrated a high level of success in using theatre to bring public awareness to specific issues, such as homophobia and AIDS, and how playwrights within that community are currently dealing with the ongoing crisis of teen suicide and bullying, particularly in light of a string of LGBTQ bullying-related suicides in September 2010.
