Paul Voermans Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Die letzte Vorstellung - bk75; Heyne Verlag; Paul Voermans; pocket_book; 1999

A black comedy by the author of "And Disregards the Rest". Nigel is a nerd, a drongo, with gangling limbs and terminal acne. When he follows one of his tropical fish into a different world he finds himself still in Australia - but an Australia which, although it's 1978, is still a penal colony.

A novel of alien contact and communication through time. In the near future, an Australian theatrical producer assembles a theatre company to mount a radical, experimental production of "The Tempest" in the outback. The experiment ends in disaster, with lasting and terrifying repercussions.
