A modern adaptation of Goethe's classic about unfulfilled love – passionately and sensitively staged for teenagers aged 14 and up. World premiere at the Young Theater.
Description
Levi R. Kuhr brings Goethe’s famous epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther to the stage of the Studiobühne in its world premiere. The play, recommended for ages 14 and up, explores the timeless theme of unrequited love—a force that reveals both artistic creativity and destructive depths. Kuhr, already acclaimed for adaptations such as Hamlet and the award-winning play FRITZ – Part One of the Comedy, reinterprets Goethe’s work and invites young audiences to engage with Werther’s sense of Weltschmerz (world-weariness).
The production blends passion and sensitivity to capture the emotional highs and lows of the original. It also addresses the topic of suicide with care—a content note provides guidance. A unique opportunity to experience Goethe’s classic in a contemporary adaptation.
