Zeit der Schuldlosen

In the organizer's words:

Scenic reading | Siegfried Lenz and the theater

A dictator takes nine peaceful and honorable citizens into lawless, arbitrary custody. They - the guiltless ones, all under great time pressure due to their professions - are to hold court over a resistance fighter who has attempted to assassinate the head of state. The prisoner is locked up with the Nine and the forced conclave will not end until the citizens make him betray his co-conspirators. But instead of a confession, murder is committed. The citizens are released.

Four years later: after the political upheaval, the same citizens are once again taken into custody by the government (now the other victorious side) and are now expected to justify their decision at the time.

Siegfried Lenz succeeds in creating a timeless political satire with his best-known play.
