Illness or Modern Women (German: Krankheit oder Moderne Frauen. Wie ein Stück.) is a play by the Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek. It was published in 1984 in the avant-garde journal manuscripte of Graz and premiered on the stage of the Schauspielhaus Bonn on February 12, 1987, directed by Hans Hollmann.[1] The play was published in book form by Prometh Verlag in 1987 with an afterword by Regine Friedrich. The title "parodically conflates women with illness."[2] The play is based on an earlier, shorter radio play by Jelinek called Erziehung eines Vampirs (Bringing Up a Vampire), which appeared in 1986 on Süddeutscher Rundfunk.[3][4]
