       It ain't the Tony Awards®, but the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis is arguably the leading German drama-prize, and Peter Handke takes it this year, for Immer noch Sturm -- amazingly enough, despite his dramatic output, for the first time. (By comparison, Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek -- hardly known in the English-speaking world as a dramatist (meaning: hardly known in the English-speaking world) -- and Rainald Goetz have each taken this prize three times, the great Heiner Müller also won it, back when, for the classic Germania - Tod in Berlin; see the complete list of previous winners here.)
