LUISE MILLER

by Mike Poulton

8 June – 30 July 2011

‘The stuff of seduction is also the stuff of politics. Lies and promises!’

Born into ancient nobility and son ofthe most powerful statesman in the land, Ferdinand is willing to forsake his fortune for the love of Luise, daughter of a humble musician. But in a world governed by deception and greed, where power is everything, their future happiness and liberty are beyond their control.

Mike Poulton’s Luise Miller is adapted from Schiller’s 1784 play Kabale und Liebe, a masterpiece of power and politics that explores the battle between honour and corruption, between truth and betrayal. It was also the basis of Verdi’s opera, Luisa Miller.
