The walls of Berlin’s Schiller Theater have seen their fair share of artistic leaders. The theater opened in 1907 and was rebuilt in 1951, after World War II, under Boleslaw Barlog. He stayed well into the 1970s, fashioning the Schiller Theater into one of West Berlin’s leading venues. In 1975, Hans Lietzau took over from Barlog, and Samuel Beckett staged “Waiting for Godot” in the Theater. Lietzau was succeeded by the actor Boy Gobert, the actor and director Heribert Sasse, and, at one point, a four-person curatorial committee.
