About this project: The english subtitles for this recording are entirely done by me at the best of my capacities. There might be some mistakes and misses which I will be happy to fix at any time. An extensive but non exhaustive explanation of the play is available on my website: It contains background on the story and the creation of the play, and explanations of language and cultural references marked by annotations (numbers in the subtitles).
