cover art: Les Adieux de Calas à sa Famille by Daniel Chodowiecki
“There
are truly magnificent scenes and the characters are admirably put into effect.”
Carl Wilhelm Ettinger (on the first production in 1784)
“Schiller's talent was just made for the theater.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“If I
did not regard Schiller as a great writer, I could not regard myself as a writer
at all.”
Franz Grillparzer (dramatist)
“Nowadays, in a time of disoriented search for meaning and the canonization of
the profane, Schiller's play is of astonishingly explosive force.”
Thalia Theatre, Hamburg (2002)
