Description

Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) used to be probably the most influential of all playwrights, the writer of deeply moving dramas that explored human fears, desires and ideals. Written at the age of twenty-one, The Robbers used to be his first play. A passionate consideration of liberty, fraternity and deep betrayal, it quickly established his fame all over Germany and wider Europe. Wallenstein, produced nineteen years later, is thought of as Schiller’s masterpiece: a deeply moving exploration of a improper general’s struggle to bring the Thirty Years War to an end against the will of his Emperor. Depicting the deep corruption caused by constant fighting between Protestants and Catholics, it’s at once a meditation at the unbounded imaginable strength of humanity, and a tragic recognition of what can happen when men allow themselves to be weak.
