Die Räuber von Friedrich Schiller, mit Texten von Thomas Melle
*Die Räuber* (The Robbers) is a play by Friedrich Schiller, first performed in 1782, about the conflict between two brothers—the idealistic Karl, who becomes the leader of a band of robbers, and the scheming Franz, who seeks to steal their father's inheritance and Karl's place. It is a drama of rebellion, justice, and family betrayal that helped launch the German *Sturm und Drang* movement.
