Perintö: Nelinäytöksinen näytelmä

A four-act drama set largely in an actress's apartment and concluding in a prison, it follows Mirjam Krause as her artistic gifts draw a circle of admirers whose affections and suspicions create mounting tensions. Rival suitors, social gossip and doubts about a young man's stability produce sharp conflicts beneath polite gatherings, while private entreaties about marriage and loyalty complicate loyalties. Those interpersonal frictions escalate into a legal and moral crisis that forces characters to face the consequences of desire, reputation and responsibility.
