Title Der Engländer
Credits Produced by Delphine Lettau
Summary "Der Engländer" by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz is a dramatic fantasy written during the late 18th century. This work unfolds the tragic tale of Robert Hot, an Englishman deeply entangled in a web of love and familial obligation, set against the backdrop of Turin. The narrative explores themes of passion, identity, and the struggles faced by the protagonist as he grapples with societal expectations and the constraints imposed by his father. The storyline follows Robert, who finds himself torn between his love for Princess Armida and the demands of his father, Lord Hot, who intends to marry him off to Lady Hamilton. Despite the father's attempts to guide him towards a more conventional life, Robert's heart remains loyal to Armida, leading him into a spiral of despair. Throughout the play, Robert's longing for personal freedom and authentic love drives him to desperate actions, leading to tragic consequences. The narrative ultimately examines the cost of unfulfilled desire and the societal pressures that stifle personal happiness, culminating in a poignant reflection on the nature of love and sacrifice.
