Die Leiden des jungen Werther im Schillerhaus Leipzig

In the organizer's words:

Goethe's "The Sorrows of Young Werther" became a bestseller immediately after its publication at the Leipzig Book Fair in 1774 and was good enough for a huge media scandal in Europe. It is the story of a loving young man whose emotional world constantly collides with merciless reality and social expectations. He loves Lotte, who inspires him with her stunning natural manner. But she is already promised to the wealthy Albert. How far does true love go? Goethe's epistolary novel is representative of
the perpetual search of the younger generation for themselves and true love. This leads to a gripping interplay of tragedy and lightness, comedy and melancholy, which must be playfully explored... Werther's love frenzy ends in the only possible consequence for him.

Play: David Leubner, Director Bernd Guhr
