As sydney festival wraps up this weekend, its your last chance to witness The critically acclaimed performance, ‘Beware of Pity.’

Based on the 1939 book, Beware of Pity follows the misadventures of Anton Hofmiller, a young cavalry officer who falls in love with Edith, then breaks her heart. Overwhelmed by guilt when the girl takes her own life, Anton tries to put things right.

We had a chat to Lisa-Marie Hobusch, the assistant director at Schaubühne Berlin, who have brought ‘Beware of Pity’ to the Sydney Festival.
