When village judge Adam wakes up one morning, he has a clearly visible head wound and his official wig has disappeared. He would like to let the incident rest, but unfortunately there is a court hearing coming up. The widow Marthe Rull's house has been broken into and a jug smashed. Young Ruprecht is suspected of breaking into the bedroom of Marthe's daughter Eve. To make matters worse, on this very day, Walter, the court councillor, announces his visit to control the administration of justice in the corruption-ridden village. Adam is forced to hold court. And only two people know exactly what really happened.
Kleist's most famous play addresses a serious crime in the guise of a comedy and poses fundamental questions about justice and (apparent) morality.
