«Die Hose» is the stage comedy by Carl Sternheim, published by Luchterhand Literaturverlag in paperback (115 pages, in German).
The play «Die Hose» is set in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century and opens with an apparently trivial episode: Luise Maske's trousers fall down in the middle of the street. From there, the plot weaves misunderstandings and comic situations that satirise appearances, morality and the conventions of the German bourgeoisie.
«Die Hose» was originally published in 1911 and is the first work of Carl Sternheim's cycle «Aus dem bürgerlichen Heldenleben» («Scenes from the Heroic Life of the Bourgeoisie»).
«Die Hose» is suitable reading for those interested in theatre, drama and social satire from early 20th-century Germany.
