It troubles me greatly that I still haven`t laid my hands on the English text of the play. I still haven`t read it, therefore the idea I`m going to put forward may turn out to be a completely bizarre one. But here`s what I think. Since the theme I`m going to tackle while analyzing the play is called " The Theatre of Absurd ", it would be interesting to try to incorporate a comparison with a concept of the same name in Hesse`s "Steppenwolf". Just a brief slide-over, a mentioning would perhaps add a twist to my project.
It could just be so that such a comparison is a highly irrelevant one. I would definitely appreciate advice. Thanks in advance.

Julia,
if we are talking about the "Theater of the Absurd", the four defining playwrights of the movement are Eugène Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, and Arthur Adamov. Other writers often associated with this group include Tom Stoppard, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Fernando Arrabal, Harold Pinter, Edward Albee and Jean Tardieu.
Maybe you might want to read Samuel's Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot" (that some people consider to be the most significant English language play of the 20th century) and draw parallels between those two plays?
I find your suggestion fascinating, too. The Magic Theater is Hesse's novel is all about illusion versus reality, about the unconscious desires, and complexity of our self. That would be a very interesting twist. I would definitely like to read that.
