Howard Stanley in 
Behind Closed Doors: 
Writings of Robert Walser
Based on the comic ramblings of Swiss author, Robert Walser (1878-1956),
Behind Closed Doors was staged at La Mama Theatre in Carlton, Australia in 1998.
Walser was a troubled man with a compulsion to walk and to write. His use of language is compelling and wryly humourous. He criss-crossed Europe driven by the need to talk and to find silence, until he was finally locked up in an asylum.
