The Sorrows of Young Werther

Work:: The Sorrows of Young Werther (S0603422811)

Rarely has a young man's suffering caused this amount of laughter. Young Werther is a passionate young poet who has everything; wealth, intellect and a bright future. But an emptiness fills him. He falls in love with the sweet-natured Lotte, who is betrothed to another man, a promise she made to her dying mother. Despite this, the young Werther cannot let go of his feelings for her, which sets the scene for this poignant tale of heartbreak and tragedy. Told with humour and live music, this modern interpretation of one of Goethe's classics is a story of impossible love, blinding promises and missed opportunities.
