From Morning to Midnight

I am a changed man! I have sixty thousand marks and I’m going to decide for myself what is and isn’t pointless so to hell with you! 

Performed in Sydney for the first time in a century, with a cast of 15 actors, The Other Theatre presents Georg Kaiser’s landmark expressionist play from 13 – 22 July.

Wake-up, work, sleep. Repeat.

So goes each day for a bank clerk. One day a woman from Florence comes into the bank. She accidentally touches the clerk’s hand. Inflamed by the presence of the Florentine visitor, he steals 60,000 marks from the bank and deserts his family. The Clerk scours the city in a desperate search for an experience worth buying and a reason for living.

From Morning to Midnight is presented by The Other Theatre.

Written by Georg Kaiser, in a new version by Dennis Kelly. Directed by Eugene Lynch.
