Book synopsis

"Released after fifteen years in prison, trapped in a bureaucratic maze, petty criminal Wilhelm Voigt wanders 1910 Berlin in desperate, hazardous pursuit of identity papers. Luck changes when he picks up an abandoned military uniform in a fancydress shop and finds the city ready to obey his every command. At the head of six soldiers, he marches to the Mayor's offi ce, cites corruption and confi scates the treasury with ease. But still what he craves is offi cial recognition that he exists. A nation heads blindly towards war as the misfit takes on the state in Ron Hutchinson's savagely funny new version of Carl Zuckmayer's The Captain of Kopenick, first staged in Germany in 1931."
