_Elisabeth Hauptmann was instrumental in the production of this play into which Verses by Francois Villon are interspersed. Producers refused a film adaptation written by the playwright entitled The Welt in which the central character takes over a bank rather than robbing it as he does in the play, as it too heavily reflected the play's anti-capitalist stance.
