In the field of drama, Tania Peitzker wrote and directed "Life with Marion" (1990) which ran for two seasons due to its popularity; one at the Metro Arts Theatre's dance studios and another at the Cement Box Theatre.

"Life with Marion" deals with contemporary society's ideas of love, religion, health and family. The three act play was first produced through government and university grants, while its second season was funded by box office revenue.

She recently completed a new play, this time dealing with themes of spirituality, gender, migration and ageing. The three act play is entitled "Gargoyles" and has a cast of two - or four - young and elderly women. Meanwhile, the manuscript of a four act, epic drama written in verse, "Crux", has been reworked since its inception ten years ago.

Aside from her literary output, Tania Peitzker became an entrepreneur in 2006 when she founded a Creative Industries agency, EU public relations ©, http://www.eupublicrelations.com in Berlin. A spin out of this UK Company Limited is the printed e-newspaper My Own Reporter ©, established in Oxford, 2008, and to be run by global partners.
