Nathan the Wise to go (Lessing in 12 minutes, English version)

There's a religious war raging in the Middle East: Judaism, Islam and Christianity seem irreconcilable. Sounds familiar? Well, Lessing's play NATHAN THE WISE is set 800 ago, but sadly up to date. Michael Sommer and his Playmobil cast present a very compact and amusing version of this German classic of Enlightenment. And yes, there's a couple of rings in the story, too... DISCLAIMER: WATCHING THIS VIDEO DOES NOT REPLACE READING THE PLAY. My recommendation: Read it yourself, watch it in the theatre, or, preferably, stage it!

"Didn't I deliver an adopted daughter to you some 18 years ago?" "Yes. That was right after the Christians had killed my wife and seven sons..." ... ... "Yeah well all I wanted to say was I kept my old address book-"

This was great! Krass! My mum is taking a class on German Enlightenment and they are studying Lessing at the moment and reading this play. I read a bit of it with her-for funzies- and enjoyed it. She was looking for supplemental material on KZbin and found this video. I had so much fun watching this. Thank you!!

Oh My Gods. Oh our Gods. OMG or Whatever! That was fantastic! (Awkward silence......) What a fantastic play and you seriously just made my day both satirical and nearly metaphorical. Thanks for the great work! (Record scratch, microphone drop, I'm out.)

Thank God for you. I have to write a Prosa about this Story for my German class and I was about ready to commit a heinous crime. 😊

[@cristinamurza5715]

how do you have such a nice accent when speaking in english?

[@SommersWorldLiteratureToGo]

I've studied in England for two years. And played theatre in English. That's a good training!

[@cristinamurza5715]

I wish you had English versions for all your literature insights, but I'm really thankful for the few you do have. I believe your work will highly increase my chances of passing the German Baccalaureate exam and I wanted to thank you in advance! :) (let's hope I do pass it cause otherwise this is a bit awkward)
