SalvationFrom Morning To Midnight, among the most frequently performed German Expressionist works, charts the life of a cashier who steals money from the bank and flees to Berlin. The un-named protagonist's bid to escape his middle-class daily life is ultimately frustrated. It is a popular piece in which Kaiser satirized the cheapness and futility of modern society. His hero, a kind of machine-age Everyman, searches everywhere for some kind of fulfilment--in commercial sex, in salvationist religion--but discovers through a series of nightmarish episodes that the world is deceitful and illusory. In the end, disillusioned and pursued by the police, he takes his own life. This new version by Dennis Kelly, opened at the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre in November 2013, as part of the National's 50th Anniversary Season.Oberon modern plays.Life change eventsPsychological aspectsDramaSelf-destructive behaviorDramaLife change eventsPsychological aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00998235Self-destructive behaviorfast(OCoLC)fst01111606Drama & Performance StudiesPlays, playscriptsbicAdaptations.fastDrama.fastDrama.lcgftLife change eventsPsychological aspectsSelf-destructive behaviorLife change eventsPsychological aspects.Self-destructive behavior.Drama & Performance Studies.Plays, playscripts.616.89071Kelly Dennis1970-1212816Kaiser Georg1878-1945.189099UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910823731503321From morning to midnight3920008UNINA
