Summary

Die junge Effi Briest ist frei, leidenschaftlich und unbeschwert. Unter der Einflussnahme ihrer Mutter heiratet sie den doppelt so alten Baron Instetten, ohne eine rechte Vorstellung von der Ehe zu haben und ohne den Baron wirklich zu lieben. In ihrem neuen Leben in einem Provinzstädtchen ist ihre Fantasie allen suspekt und sie gerät in eine Affäre mit dem Major von Crampas. Aus nüchterner Distanz schildert Fontane in einem der berühmtesten Eheromane der Weltliteratur das Schicksal einer freiheitsliebenden Frau, die an den Moral- und Ehrvorstellungen des preußischen Bürgertums scheitert.

Simple story, great production

The play (in German) is quite short and moves along quickly, and it feels at times like you're just getting the highlights of the original story. At various points, heavy hints are given that years have passed. But it is a great production that keeps you interested, and the two main characters are played excellently. The part of Effi Briest herself is very convincingly played. For me, it was a great introduction to the story of the novel in one short play. I can now feel more confident about reading the novel itself.
