THE PRINCE OF HOMBURG

by Heinrich von Kleist, in a new version by Dennis Kelly

22 July – 4 September 2010

“The highest rule is that which beats in the heart.”

Heroic commander of the Prussian cavalry, the Prince of Homburg dreams of victory, glory and fame. But reckless disobedience during a crucial military operation leads the Prince into his greatest battle yet.

The creative team behind the Donmar’s critically acclaimed production of LIFE IS A DREAM present von Kleist’s poetic masterpiece, which is considered to be one of the most haunting and beautiful plays of the nineteenth century, exploring honour, courage, ambition and love.
