2023-07-30 05:59:33

The radio audience owes him exciting hours. Helmut Peschina has written radio plays and worked on great material from world literature: novels by Arthur Schnitzler, Heimito von Doderer, Hans Lebert, Jules Verne, Honoré de Balzac and Stendhal might be heard in his dramatizations – and once more and once more Joseph Roth, some of his great novels such as also selected journalistic works.

The ORF, several German ARD stations and the Swiss SRG have produced and/or broadcast Helmut Peschina’s work, and the author has received many awards for it. Ö1 listeners alone have voted a Peschina show five times the ORF radio play of the year, from Elias Canetti’s “Die Blinding” in 2002 to Euripides’ “Medea” in 2016 – Helmut Peschina studied classics as well as German and theater studies.

Helmut Peschina was born in Klosterneuburg on January 7, 1943. He has been a freelance writer since 1974. Before and alongside his work for radio, he worked as an editor for the literary magazine Podium, published poetry and staged numerous plays.
