Das Käthchen von Heilbronn

Why go

Kleist's most successful play piles a secret tribunal, a burning castle, a cherub, intrigues and a poison plot around a heroine who follows her heart with absolute certainty. Elsa-Sophie Jach's staging weaves in texts from Christa Wolf's «Kein Ort. Nirgends» and plays in the ornate rococo Cuvilliéstheater. This is the last chance to see the production; it runs two hours twenty minutes without an interval and is recommended for ages 14 and up.
