This is Fassbinder's last and most controversial play, which was banned in Germany. The story concerns Rome,
a prostitute too beautiful to have clients and the real estate speculator she befriends. Rome is paid to listen
to her customers' despairing monologues about politics, power, corruption, and guilt.
The play drew much attention in the press both in Israel and overseas. A German television crew was sent to Israel to cover the rehearsals. Their comprehensive review can be found (in German) in
"Kultur Magazine"
