Released after fifteen years in prison, trapped in a bureaucratic
maze, petty criminal Wilhelm Voight wanders 1910 Berlin in
desperate, hazardous pursuit of identity papers. Luck changes when
he picks up an abandoned military uniform in a fancy-dress shop and
finds the city ready to obey his every command. At the head of six
soldiers, he marches to the Mayor's office, cites corruption and
confiscates the treasury with ease. But still what he craves is
official recognition that he exists.
A nation heads blindly towards war as the misfit takes on the state
in Ron Hutchinson's savagely funny new version of Carl Zuckmayer's
"The Captain of Kopenick," first staged in Germany in 1931.
