Penned in 1835 by the revolutionary Georg Buchner at the age of only 21, Danton's Death is a contender for the best political tragedy ever written.
Danton is tormented by his part in the killings during the French Revolution. His fate is in the hands of his former friend Robespierre. Once comrades ready to change the world, Robespierre and Danton find themselves political rivals: one a guillotine happy ideological puritan, the other preaching compromise.
