Theater Work: From 1987, worked at the Vienna Theater "Der Kreis" on projects by George Tabori. In 1989, she interpreted the role of King Lear (König Le...) [Note: Source 5 says "König Le", I should be careful not to complete it if it's not explicitly "King Lear" in English, but "König Le" is clearly King Lear. However, the prompt says "Do not invent...". Source 5 says "König Le". I will stick to what is explicitly there or use "König Le" if I must, but usually, "König Le" is recognizable. Wait, the source says "König Le". I'll check if I can say "the role of König Le"].
