A fresh drama laced with biting humour, in which a small group of people become embroiled in a major power struggle.

Martin Wegner, a rising playwright hailed as the voice of his generation, has been awarded a week-long mentorship with the famous Benjamin Rubin by the Arts Foundation. Rubin wrote an acclaimed classic play – albeit thirty years ago – and has only agreed to mentor Martin for the money. Flaunting his superiority, Rubin begins by picking apart Martin’s punctuation before dismissing the entire play as rubbish. Martin turns for support to his wife Gina, who has accompanied him. It emerges that she has never really understood his writing either, and the young playwright begins to wonder whether anyone has ever genuinely liked his work. Devastated, he storms off, leaving his wife and Rubin to become better acquainted. Mestari is a fresh German drama laced with biting humour, in which a small group of people become embroiled in a major power struggle.
