From Morning to Midnight

Von morgens bis mitternachts is an expressionist play written by the German dramatist Georg Kaiser in 1912, but banned for reasons which were not entirely clear, being neither immoral nor anarchistic, then in 1917 produced by the Austrian Max Reinhardt.[1]

It was translated for the English stage as From Morn to Midnight: A Play in Seven Scenes by Ashley Dukes, and produced by the Stage Society to negative reviews.[2]

A modern translation by Dennis Kelly was titled From Morning to Midnight.[3]
