A Respectable Wedding is a short play by the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht, written in 1919 and first performed on 11 December 1926 at the Schauspielhaus Frankfurt under its original title Die Hochzeit (The Wedding).[1] Brecht changed the title a short time later to Die Kleinbürgerhochzeit (The Petit Bourgeois Wedding).[2]
Like others of Brecht's early works (Baal, Drums in the Night, and The Threepenny Opera), A Respectable Wedding is seen as a critique of bourgeois society.[3]
The play includes nine characters:[4]
- The Bridegroom's Mother
- The Bride's Father
- The Bride
- The Bridegroom
- The Young Man
- The Bride's Sister
- The Woman
- The Man
- The Friend
