Kabale und Liebe – allerdings mit anderem Text und auch anderer Melodie

In the organizer's words:

by Barbara Bürk and Clemens Sienknecht
after Friedrich Schiller
Directed by Barbara Bürk and Clemens Sienknecht

And here they are again at last. With a brand new episode of their much-loved radio show, the crew from "Effi Briest", "Anna Karenina" and the "Nibelungen" are this time taking on a top theater classic that still occupies one of the top spots in the play hit parade. In wind and weather with Sturm und Drang, Radio Schiller will soon be broadcasting live in the Deutsches SchauSpielHaus. For some, "a sin of youth, full of disgusting repetitions and blasphemous expressions, full of crass scurrilous wit and incomprehensible gossip" (Clemens Brentano and Karl Philipp Moritz), for others "the all-conquering pinnacle of bourgeois drama" (Otto Brahm) - "Kabale und Liebe" guarantees dangerous loves and passions and pulls out all the stops of a cunning intrigue.

Theodor Fontane has seen the tragedy "probably twenty times now, but is always enraptured by it anew. There are few things more powerful on stage." Because, according to the literary pope Marcel Reich-Ranicki, "no herb seems to grow against Schiller."
