IS THE FOURTH WALL A URINAL? In Eckhard Gerdes’s fifteenth novel, two women friends - one from the city, the other from the suburbs - attend opening night of a cryptic new play: Pissers’ Theatre. Oddly enough, both the play and the theatre it’s being presented in have been designed to accommodate audience incontinence. Thus, the production pauses whenever someone needs to empty their bladder. This bizarre experiment plays havoc with the show’s continuity and leads our heroines into strange places - onstage and off.

An offbeat and amusing new novel by a master fictioneer.

The Pissers’ Theatre will keep you reading with its captivating storytelling and relatable characters. While it is a light read, there are many hidden metaphors and subtle satirical points… I highly recommend Eckhard Gerdes’ novel to all sophisticated readers (and theatergoers!). It would be a great vacation companion or the perfect novel to read on a rainy weekend. - Windy City Reviews
