Christian Brückner reads Goethe's “Wilhelm Meister's Theatrical Program”

The fascinating precursor to one of the most important educational novels in German literature. The focus is on the passion for theatre as a place of self-discovery and artistic transformation. With a keen sense of language and thought, Brückner makes Goethe's early novel draft tangible as a lively literary adventure.

An event by Literatur Live in cooperation with the Renaissance Theatre.
