Inhaltsangabe

"Tell me, please - is this a dream?' The night before he leads his troops into battle, the prince of Homburg strips off his uniform and goes sleepwalking. Moonstruck, his mind races with a young man's fantasies - love, ambition and victory. But when the morning comes, a single reckless act of disobediance sets in motion a chain of events that leads inexorable to the one thing he never dreamt would happen; his own death. Heinrich von Kleist is one of the most enigmatic figures in theatre history. Driven to suicide at the age of 34, he left behind him seven extraordinary plays. Unperformed during his own lifetime, The Prince of Homburg is now regarded as von Kleist's masterpiece and is one of the most mysterious and beautiful plays of the nineteenth century. Neil Bartlett's production opened at the RSC Stratford in January 2002, and transferred to the Lyric Theatre."

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Neil Bartlett is one of his generation's most respected and innovative theatre directors. His highly individual translations of French and German classical theatre, and charcteristically theatrical adaptations of Dickens, most of them originated while he was Artistic Director of the Lyric Hammersmith in London, have been played around the world. His plays have premiered at the Royal Court, at the Manchester International Festival and at the National Theatre in London.

David Bryer began his career in the theatre, the Royal Court and the National Theatres, before going into secondary teaching. Later he started a dual career as an EFL teacher and literary translator, writing in the latter capacity new verse translations of Racine's Andromaque and Corneille's Le Cid for Cheek by Jowl Theatre Company, both world premieres, followed by Moliere's Tartuffe for Watford Palace Theatre. Other play translations include Jean Giraudoux's Electre, Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas, published in 2005 by Oberon Books, Paul Barz's Handling Bach for Greenwich Theatre, Franz Grillparzer's Des Meeres und der Liebe Wellen (two versions, Wide Water and The Breakers) and more recently The Prince of Homburg for the RSC, co-translated with Neil Bartlett.
