Infos

It is life's great aim. To find a way to be honest with oneself, even as the world pretends around you. Dashing soldier Anastasius Linck has no intention of falling in love, but a chance encounter with the rebellious Catharina Mülhahn changes everything. As they begin to forge a relationship that breaks boundaries and rejects the rigid rules of their society, they find themselves confronted by a world determined to tear them apart. Ruby Thomas' epic and playful love story, inspired by eighteenth-century court records and the extraordinary lives of a gender-pioneering couple, opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in January 2023.

Linck & Mülhahn was shortlisted for the George Devine Award 2022.

Rezensionen

Compelling, ambitious . . . daring and unexpected.

Tender and funny . . . giddily anachronistic . . . Thomas is a talented writer who boldly fills Hampstead Theatre's main stage with a question as pressing today as it ever was.

There's something so lovable about this play and its quest to find a golden thread of joy in a dark, tattered old story.

One of the best new plays in years. Ruby Thomas's ambitious, drop-dead gorgeous piece roars onto Hampstead Theatre's main stage with a rare swagger and brio, full of scintillating wit, swashbuckling action and ultimately a hugely satisfying emotional wallop. . . . It's a great piece of storytelling: profoundly moving and wildly funny, delicate yet tough. A triumph.
