Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Das Lustspiel in fünf Akten von Hugo von Hofmannsthal erschien 1956. Ein Schauspieler, Max Pallenberg, war Anlass zur Niederschrift des "Unbestechlichen".

Jaromir, der mit Anna verheiratete Sohn der Baronin, hat zwei ehemalige Geliebte zu sich eingeladen. Daraufhin kündigt Theodor, der Diener, seinen Dienst im Haus der Baronin. Er bleibt nur unter der Bedingung, dass sie ihm freie Hand lässt, das sich anbahnende "Techtelmechtel" zu verhindern, die Damen zur Abreise zu bewegen und die Ehe als Abbild des metaphysischen Prinzips gesellschaftlicher Ordnung zu retten.

Die lehrhafte Tendenz des "Unbestechlichen" sowie die handlungstragende Intrige stehen in guter Komödientradition. Die Zwiespältigkeit von Hofmannsthals Konzeption zeigt sich auch darin, dass nicht durch Theodor der Sinn der Ehe enthüllt wird, sondern dass die direkte Wirkung des Metaphysischen von Bedeutung ist (aus: Kindlers Literaturlexikon).

Bearbeitung: Hans Jochen Schale, Regie: Cläre Schimmel.

Shakespeare's "Othello" is a heart-wrenching tale of evil and betrayal; it is the first of Shakespeare's great series of tragedies and history plays. The exotic Moor Othello and his beloved Desdemona are thrown into a mesh of intrigue and matters of the state; their strong love would overcome all of it, were it not for Iago. Trusted by his master Othello, he is actually seeking vengeance against him, and has vowed to destroy the Moor of Venice in the worst possible manner. Through insinuations about Desdemona's infidelity, Iago manages to draw Othello deeper and deeper into his schemes, until a horrific escalation quickly brings the play to a terrible end.
