«Burger Schippel» is the stage comedy by Carl Sternheim, published by Luchterhand Literaturverlag GmbH in paperback (68 pages, in German).
A work of social criticism about tensions between nobility, bourgeoisie and proletariat. After the death of the tenor of a bourgeois vocal quartet, the only substitute with the right voice is Burger Schippel, a proletarian born out of wedlock. The group admits him reluctantly, but Schippel wants something more: recognition.
The play belongs to Carl Sternheim's cycle 'Aus dem bürgerlichen Heldenleben' and the edition bears the subtitle 'Komödie'.
For readers interested in German theatre and in comedies of social criticism that portray class tensions with irony.
