Original title ''Der Kontrabass'' (written 1980), a play by German dramatist Patrick Süskind (born 1949). The play is the monologue of a double bass player, speaking to the audience in his small sound-proofed apartment and drinking beer. He tells anecdotes about the instrument's history and actually playing, he reveals more and more of his past and present rather miserable situation and the image of a lonely man who realises that his performance is mediocre.

== The original text ==
This monologue in one act premiered in 1981.

==Translations and adaptations==
Translated to English by Michael Hofmann and published in 1987 by Hamish Hamilton. Another translation was done by Roy Kift.

== Performance history in South Africa ==
