THE ROBBERS

By Friederich Schiller

In this powerful tale of power, class and revenge, a single broken heart ignites a national emergency. Franz is a cunning manipulator obsessed with money, materialism and power. Karl is a charismatic rebel, hiding out in the forest and leading a band of thieves. The two brothers are locked in a dangerous competition for their father’s love and a vast inheritance. Written by one of the titans of German theatre, this epic story about a younger generations’ overthrow of the status quo seems, even 225 years later, ripped from international headlines.
