From Morn to Midnight: A Play in Seven Scenes (1922)

From Morn to Midnight is a play in seven scenes written by German playwright Georg Kaiser and first published in 1922. The play follows the story of a bank clerk who becomes disillusioned with his mundane life and decides to steal money from the bank where he works. The play is a reflection on the modern world and the impact of capitalism on individuals and society. The protagonist's journey is a metaphor for the human experience of alienation, existential crisis, and the search for meaning in a world that is often devoid of it. The play is characterized by its expressionistic style, with the use of symbolic and abstract elements to convey the protagonist's psychological state. From Morn to Midnight is considered a masterpiece of German Expressionist theatre and a significant work of early 20th-century drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
