A Wittgenstein lunch descends into a profiterole fight

Wittgenstein's Nephew is a play by Thomas Bernhard depicting the philosopher's return to his sisters' home after a stay in a psychiatric hospital. This fiction is inspired by the ties maintained by the author with Paul Wittgenstein, the thinker's cousin. During this work, the family meal descends into a profiterole fight while the protagonist criticizes the theatrical milieu.
