Salvation 330 $aFrom Morning To Midnight, among the most frequently performed German Expressionist works, charts the life of a cashier who steals money from the bank and flees to Berlin. The un-named protagonist's bid to escape his middle-class daily life is ultimately frustrated. It is a popular piece in which Kaiser satirized the cheapness and futility of modern society. His hero, a kind of machine-age Everyman, searches everywhere for some kind of fulfilment--in commercial sex, in salvationist religion--but discovers through a series of nightmarish episodes that the world is deceitful and illusory. In the end, disillusioned and pursued by the police, he takes his own life. This new version by Dennis Kelly, opened at the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre in November 2013, as part of the National's 50th Anniversary Season. 410 0$aOberon modern plays. 606 $aLife change events$xPsychological aspects$vDrama 606 $aSelf-destructive behavior$vDrama 606 $aLife change events$xPsychological aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00998235 606 $aSelf-destructive behavior$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01111606 606 $aDrama & Performance Studies 606 $aPlays, playscripts$2bic 608 $aAdaptations.$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2lcgft 615 0$aLife change events$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aSelf-destructive behavior 615 7$aLife change events$xPsychological aspects. 615 7$aSelf-destructive behavior. 615 4$aDrama & Performance Studies. 615 7$aPlays, playscripts. 676 $a616.89071 700 $aKelly$b Dennis$f1970-$01212816 701 $aKaiser$b Georg$f1878-1945.$0189099 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823731503321 996 $aFrom morning to midnight$93920008 997 $aUNINA
