Sam Dolbear, R4B instructor based in London (teaching in the London Edge Program), has written a translation of "The Peasants' War".
From Rab-Rab Press: "In 1925, playwright Berta Lask (1878–1967) wrote a play to mark the 400th anniversary of the German Peasants’ War. In it, she imagines Thomas Müntzer waking up every hundred years to address the contemporary political situation.
To mark the 100th year of the play and the 500th of the Peasants’ War, today, on May Day, we are releasing as a PDF the translation of Berta Lask’s Thomas Müntzer: Dramatic depiction of the German Peasants’ War of 1525.
Translated for the first time into English by Sam Dolbear in collaboration with Esther Leslie, Joey Simons, and Charlotte Thießen, the PDF of the play includes character lists, explanatory notes, and prop lists.
