In the fourth volume of "Karl May on Stage", the authors Nicolas Finke and Reinhard Marheinecke review the Karl May stage stories of the festivals in Mörschied, Pluwig or Pullman City (Lower Bavaria). The authors also document numerous Karl May productions that have been performed on international terrain since the first half of the 20th century – whether in today's Holland, Hungary and Croatia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic or the USA. Impressive and at least as exciting as Karl May's Wild West, Balkan and Oriental stories were also those plays dedicated to the multifaceted life story of the Saxon writer, from early productions in the 1930s to tours by and with actors such as Ilja Richter and Dietmar Mues, who said in an interview: "Karl May would have to be performed in a circus tent."
