DON'T DRINK THE LEMONADE! The ROMANTIC AND REVOLUTIONARY play reading series begins with a play in which the young Friedrich Schiller tested his considerable dramatic talent, the bold follow-up to his wildly successful first play, THE ROBBERS. We begin with POLITICS AND PASSION (KABALE UND LIEBE) — a Tragedy of Domestic Life.  Obsession! Dishonor! Alienation! Lovers die for love! But unlike Romeo & Juliet, the lovers die for impure love — a love that has been tainted by a corrupt, scheming and unscrupulous world that has lost touch with what matters. You can just smell the Strüm und Drang. The play was the inspiration for Verdi's opera, LUISA MILLER. This reading is part of the 2011 Gallatin seminar Romantics and Revolutionaries: Theater and Theatricality in the Age of Revolution. Come listen or TAKE PART! RSVP if you want a role!  The Gallatin School of Individualized Study 1 Washington Place (room 401). Friday, January 29th at 6:30PM! photo and design by Christopher Cartmill
