Silesia, 1903. Every man falls for Rose Bernd. But her actions lead her into danger. In a deeply traditional community how can she avoid disgrace Rose Bernd is a compassionate but shocking account of a young woman's downfall. This new translation was performed at the Arcola Theatre in 2005 as part of the 'Last Waltz' season by Oxford Stage Company & Dumbfounded Theatre.
Hauptmann (1892-1946) was influenced by the realist works of Ibsen, and began experimenting with naturalistic forms of drama. His best known plays include 'Vor Sonnenaufgang' and 'Die Weber'.
