A Fairy Tale by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE translated by SUSANNE FLATAUER adapted for radio by MARTIN ESSLIN with music by HANS HEIMLER
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is one of the major figures of German and world litera,ture. One of his most mysterious, and to our eyes strikingly modern, works is this fairy tale, which in its imagery foreshadows the po&try of surrealism.
Produced and directed by MARTIN ESSLIN
