It is life's great aim. To find a way to be honest with oneself, even as the world pretends around you.
Dashing soldier Anastasius Linck has no intention of falling in love, but a chance encounter with the rebellious Catharina Mülhahn changes everything. As they begin to forge a relationship that breaks boundaries and rejects the rigid rules of their society, they find themselves confronted by a world determined to tear them apart.
Ruby Thomas' epic and playful love story, inspired by eighteenth-century court records and the extraordinary lives of a gender-pioneering couple, opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in January 2023.
Shortlisted for the 52nd George Devine Award.
Finalist for the 45th Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
'One of the best new plays in years. Ruby Thomas's ambitious, drop-dead gorgeous piece roars onto Hampstead Theatre's main stage with a rare swagger and brio, full of scintillating wit, swashbuckling action and ultimately a hugely satisfying emotional wallop. . . . It's a great piece of storytelling: profoundly moving and wildly funny, delicate yet tough. A tri-umph.' - What's On Stage
'There's something so lovable about this play and its quest to find a golden thread of joy in a dark, tattered old story.' - Time Out
