Description

The charismatic but rebellious student Karl is deeply loved by his father. The younger brother, Franz, who appears as a cold, calculating villain, plots to wrest away Karl's inheritance. As the play unfolds, both Franz's motives and Karl's innocence and heroism are revealed to be complex.

Author

Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) was the great dramatist of German liberty — The Robbers, Mary Stuart, Wilhelm Tell — and a poet-philosopher of the beautiful and the sublime. With Goethe he made Weimar a capital of letters. Schiller's plays turn history into moral weather: tyranny, honour, and the chance of a free people. With 22 titles in our catalogue, he remains a founding voice of European Romantic drama.
