The Prince of Homburg on Video - 1974

Buy The Prince of Homburg on Amazon

Written in 1811, shortly before the author’s suicide, Heinrich Von Kleist's The Prince of Homburg is a strangely haunting drama about a Prussian nobleman who, in disobeying military orders, is sentenced to death, but nevertheless defeats the invading Swedish forces. Von Kleist transforms this incident into an exploration of reality and dream, passion and dissemblance, cowardice and bravado. Written as if by the very spirit of poetry, it represents an exuberance in the triumphs of life. This hitherto unknown German classic was given its American premiere by New York City’s renowned experimental Chelsea Theater Center and was shot at the famous Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina. Stars Frank Langella (Dracula).
