The broken jug

A comedy by Heinrich von Kleist, performed by the Westfälisches Landestheater Castrop-Rauxel.

Kleist's comedy about the twists and turns of Judge Adam to save his own skin has been considered a German comedy par excellence for centuries. But in times of "alternative facts", "fake news" and unscrupulous battles for influence, power and interpretative sovereignty, completely new aspects are coming to the fore.

This is one of the reasons why "The Broken Jug" is also a topic in the NRW-Zentralabitur 2026.
