"These five plays provide an excellent introduction to Kaiser's
vision of the regeneration of man, which he illustrated in his
works by a total paring down of detail, penetrating to the core of
the matter and revealing man's true potential. In From Morning to
Midnight the cashier, downtrodden victim of the capitalist system,
turns bank robber in order to test the power, freedom and happiness
that money can bring. His grand gesture of setting himself and
others free turns into an odyssey of disillusion and ends in his
violent death. The unique stage technique employed by Kaiser is as
challenging today as it was when the play was first performed. The
Burghers of Calais has always been considered Kaiser's greatest
play and the "classic" of Expressionist drama. In it, Kaiser
exploits the non-naturalistic technique of Expressionism. The play
embraces vast expansiveness and total concentration, stylized
gesture and lengthy monologues."
