Well I've just heard a German language radio drama which was unusually intelligent, amusing and contemporary. Of course under these pre-conditions it couldn't be by a German author, and right, it turned out to be a translated play from a New York writer named Diana Amsterdam.
Have you ever heard about her? I'm quite enthusiastic I must admit.

I have heard of her! She wrote 'Beautiful Clear-Eyed Woman'...check out the synopsis below:

"Franny wants to be a writer but she doesn't have the time -- she's constantly busy taking care of a big old country house, an ailing father, a teenage son and his pals, and a troubled young niece. Indeed, Franny takes care of everyone. Then, as fate often does have it, she gets the chance for some freedom just when the love of her life comes along, wanting her to start the family thing all over again. Everyone agrees Franny can't let this love pass her by, not in her forties. With her niece on the run, her wealthy jerk of a brother in pursuit, and the clock ticking, what will Franny do?"

Well that's completely different to the play I heard, but sounds equally interesting. I will try and get me something written by her.
