Lessing's NATHAN THE WISE: Reviving Utopia
From its Enlightenment origins to the present day, Lessing's NATHAN THE WISE has retained its double status as both a canonized classic of German theater and a lightning rod through which conflicting social values have been channeled and debated. Lessing's Jerusalem, set during the crusades, ends as a precarious utopia where Jews, Moslems, and Christians live in peace, a scenario and a site that still allows us to stage and to question our own visions of utopia, a utopia now shadowed by violence on every side.
