Also a secret playwright stuck in directed Kortner in turn, and when the exile forced him to learn a new language, without that he could develop enough as an actor, what language excited him and pressed was reflected, in writing acknowledgment as playwright and screenwriter. In the postwar years Kortner opposed corrosive and persistently Ukraine, respecting the bitter truths realism in Germany-still looking for lofty State Theatre classicism and the illusory "style" theater as a Director. The stations of Kortners, artistic development and his work are dealt with in resümierenden comments and texts in detail and documented by pictures, rehearsal and performance photos, presented his work, his acting individuality and political clarity especially based on personal notes and letters.
