Calculate

The short play Calculate is a “brilliantly cynical playbook by Händl Klaus. He composed a scenic text about two grotesquely rich girlfriends, who honestly feel burdened by their wealth and want to dispose of it. Händl’s script savors the carefree despair of those two best-heeled ladies and the conniving greed of the bankers they have called in, with a brutally chopped-up tone of conversation.” (Basler Zeitung)

“Never before has the oversexed narcissism of our times and the entanglement of its Top Dogs been brought to stage in a more chaplinesque fashion. Calculate is a charmingly Viennese riff on having, giving, coveting.” (Tages-Anzeiger)

“Händl Klaus’ script straps the billionaire women and their henchmen into a corset of flowery phrases and commonplaces, reminding us of social isolation and lack of contact with reality.” (Nachtkritik)
