Luise Miller Summary

A love story laced with indignation. . . . The language in Mike Poulton's fine version is alternately highflown and splendidly raunchy. The Times Adapted from Friedrich Schiller's 1784 play Kabale und Liebe, a masterpiece of power and politics that explores the battle between honor and corruption, between truth and betrayal.
