Description

'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 yound man's fantasies - love, ambition and victory. But when morning comes, a single reckless act of disobediance sets in motion a chain of events that leads inexorably to the one thing he never dreamt would happen; his own death.

Author Biography:

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 is playing at the RSC Stratford from January 2002, and transfers to the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in February.
