Title Der jüngste Tag: Ein groteskes Spiel
Credits Produced by Jens Sadowski
Summary "Der jüngste Tag: Ein groteskes Spiel" by Leo Matthias is a play written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. This theatrical work navigates complex themes of identity, morality, and human relationships, presenting a tense and layered narrative that unfolds through the interactions of its characters. The setting captures a blend of societal critique and personal turmoil, reflecting the anxieties of the era. The story revolves around the characters Rainer, Jeanne, Gonn, and Yges, weaving a rich tapestry of emotional and ethical struggles. Rainer grapples with his feelings for Jeanne, who is married to Yges, while Gonn serves as a manipulative force encouraging rivalry and tension between them. As the plot unfolds, it is revealed that Rainer has made a damaging wager with Yges that threatens his integrity and personal freedom. The dynamics intensify when secrets come to light and tragic circumstances arise, leading to a dramatic climax that forces characters to confront their true selves and relationships. The play examines the fragility of human connections against the backdrop of societal expectations and the consequences of their choices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
