In addition to his work as a director, Krasanovsky is also an author and is published by the Kaiserverlag in Vienna.
"... The theater of Josef Maria Krasanovsky is an absolutely contemporary ... the characters fight with all their might against the eternally same sadness of their existence... The humor and the fast change to depth are the main driving forces of this theater cosmos, along with the high musicality of the language...” Kaiserverlag Wien
