KOHLHAAS

About the show

When a nobleman wrongfully seizes two of Michael Kohlhaas’ horses, he begins a quest for justice that sees him take on the political establishment, with violent and far-reaching consequences. An epic and resonant adaptation by Marco Baliani and Remo Rostagno of the Heinrich Von Kleist 1810 novella, Kohlhaas reunites Arinzé Kene with director Omar Elerian following their Olivier-nominated hit Misty. Originally produced by Brighton Festival to critical acclaim, this new one man show explores the cost of protest, resistance and speaking truth to power.
