This charming one-act play by Elise Bürger is a delightful romp through the world of high society in 19th-century Germany. The play centers on a group of aristocrats who gather to celebrate the birthday of the queen, only to find themselves embroiled in a series of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and comic mishaps. With its witty dialogue and colorful cast of characters, Die Überraschung is a must-read for fans of classic European theatre.
