This is your rhetoric translated. These wretches, these executioners, the guillotine are your speeches come to life. You have built your doctrines out of human heads... Why should an event that transforms the whole of humanity not advance through blood? 1794: the French Revolution reaches its climax. After a series of bloody purges the life-loving, volatile Danton is tormented by his part in the killing. His political rival, the driven, ascetic Robespierre, decides Danton's fate. A titanic struggle begins. Once friends who wanted to change the world, now one stands for compromise the other for ideological purity as the guillotine awaits. A revolutionary himself, George Büchner was 21 when he wrote the play in 1835, while hiding from the police. With its hair-raising on-rush of scenes and vivid dramatisation of complex, visionary characters, Danton's Death has a claim to be the greatest political tragedy ever written. In his newly-revised translation, Howard Brenton captures Büchner's exhilarating energy as Danton struggles to avoid his inexorable fall.

n muß? Habt ihr vergessen, daß diese Hure der Könige ihren Aussatz nur in dem Wasser der Rhone abwaschen kann? Habt ihr vergessen, daß dieser revolutionäre Strom die Flotten Pitts im Mittelmeere auf den Leichen der Aristokraten muß stranden machen? Eure Barmherzigkeit mordet die Revolution. Der Atemzug eines Aristokraten ist das Röcheln der Freiheit. Nur ein Feigling stirbt für die Republik, ein Jakobiner tötet für sie. Wißt: finden wir in euch nicht mehr die Spannkraft der Männer des 10. August, des September und des 31. Mai, so bleibt uns, wie dem Patrioten Gaillard, nur der Dolch des Kato. (Beifall und verwirrtes Geschrei.)Ein Jakobiner. Wir werden den Becher des Sokrates mit euch trinken!Legendre (schwingt sich auf die Tribüne). Wir haben nicht nötig, unsere Blicke auf Lyon zu werfen. Die Leute, die seidne Kleider tragen, die in Kutschen fahren, die in den Logen im Theater sitzen und nach dem Diktionär der Akademie sprechen, tragen seit einigen Tagen die Köpfe fest auf den Schultern. Sie sind witz

The play follows the story of Georges Danton, a leader of the French Revolution, during the lull between the first and second terrors. Georges Danton created the office of the Revolutionary Tribunal as a strong arm for the Revolutionary Government. With this, to be accused of anything real or imagined was to be condemned to death without trial, proofs, evidence or witnesses. Within months he knew this power was a terrible mistake and fought to have it ended. Robespierre stopped him and used the Tribunal to have Danton and all opposition killed, consolidate his power and slaughter uncounted thousands of French men, women, and children. Ultimately he followed Danton to the guillotine. Witnesses describe Danton as dying bravely comforting other innocents executed with him. - Wikipedia.
