Nicholas Campbell | Maria Vacratsis

With Through the Leaves celebrated German playwright Franz Xaver Kroetz has written an uncompromising relationship drama that chronicles the failed relationship between Martha, a female butcher and her abusive companion, Otto, a factory worker. The love affair between Martha and Otto is an extremely unique relationship yet depicts a very universal truth about the desperate need in humans to feel connected to someone else.

"A contemporary German classic,a beautiful study of two people" - Evening Standard

"It takes a hard convincing look at the imbalance of power between a man and a woman and at what happens when tenderness and cruelty converge" - Observer
