«Die Hebamme» is the comedy by Rolf Hochhuth, published by Rowohlt in paperback (183 pages, in German).
The play follows a certified midwife who must appear before a court, in a comedy that some critics compared to Kleist's «The Broken Jug» or Zuckmayer's «The Captain of Köpenick». Its premiere led to numerous productions and the work achieved wide circulation in Germany.
Published in 1974 by Rowohlt. It corresponds to volume 1670 of the rororo Theater collection.
Recommended for readers of contemporary German theatre and fans of modern classical comedy.
Rolf Hochhuth was a German author and playwright, best known for his 1963 drama The Deputy, which insinuates Pope Pius XII's indifference to Hitler's extermination of the Jews, and he remained a controversial figure both for his plays and other public comments and for his 2005 defense of British Holocaust denier David Irving.
