From Morn to Midnight: A Play in Seven Scenes - Paperback

by Georg Kaiser (Author), Ashlety Dukes (Translator)

From Morn to Midnight is a German Expressionist play that delves into themes of existentialism, isolation, and the search for meaning. The story follows a bank clerk who, in a sudden rebellion against his mundane life, steals a large sum of money and embarks on a frenzied journey through urban society. As he experiences the extremes of wealth, lust, and religion, he grapples with the emptiness of modern existence. Kaiser's work offers a striking critique of materialism and the human condition.
