Heinrich Mann (1871-1950) already became a well-known novelist at the turn of the century with his trilogy Die Göttinnen (1902) and, most of all, with Professor Unrat oder das Ende eines Tyrannen (1904) which was later made into the film The Blue Angel. From 1910, he began writing more for the theatres, stage adaptations of his novels and original stage plays such as Madame Legros (1913) which is set at the brink of the French Revolution and whose original production at the Lessingtheater in Berlin in ran very successfully in 1916: “This drama is of a fierce topicality. The world has not become emptier of injustice since 1914 and full of a monstrous indifference to the needs of other people.” (Robert Musil on the premiere production)
