George Tabori was a Hungarian-born British playwright, novelist, and theatre director whose work profoundly shaped postwar European drama. Born in Budapest in 1914, he fled Nazi persecution and spent years in exile, experiences that deeply informed his writing. Tabori was celebrated for his darkly comic yet deeply humane explorations of the Holocaust, memory, and identity. His landmark plays, including "The Cannibals" and "Mein Kampf," blended tragedy with absurdist humour, challenging audiences to confront history's darkest chapters. He spent his later decades working in German-speaking theatre, becoming one of its most revered figures. He died in Berlin in 2007.
