                     What does theatre know that we don't? 

German plays from the 1910s & 1920s. 

 

A Crisis is unfolding in NYC. An era of destruction, and secular upheaval has arrived and institutional life, and the old corrupted civil order are being destroyed in response to a threat to the nation's survival.   

​

Ernst Toller's

The Transfiguration 

"Horror lies within these prison walls-unplumbed, unfathomed, a bottomless morass, an endless swamp.

​

Gottfried Benn's

Ithaka

Betrayed before God by the beast and God and beast alike destroyed by thought and spewed out, a random throw in the mists of this land. 

​​

Walter Hasenclever's

The Son

"Under the guise of education you have committed a crime against me. This will be revenged"
