Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are the main characters in two novels by the American author Mark Twain, set in the 19th century along the Mississippi River: Tom Sawyer is a rascal who lives with his Aunt Polly, while the freedom-loving Huckleberry Finn is a homeless boy who is friends with Tom. Together, they experience many adventures, ranging from treasure hunts and break-ins to murder cases and running away from society. A humorous and touching story about first love, the bonds of friendship, and the struggle between keeping a promise and the importance of acting responsibly is underscored and brought to life by musical themes by the German-American composer Kurt Weill (The Threepenny Opera).

Based on Mark Twain’s novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," John von Düffel wrote a stage adaptation with music as early as 2014, designed primarily for acting ensembles, using Kurt Weill’s five “Huckleberry Finn Songs” and additional songs with new, freely adapted lyrics from Weill’s American creative period. This family play will be performed for the first time in Frankfurt.

A play for the whole family, recommended for ages 10 and up.
