![]() But there are strong hints that Adam himself is to blame, and we watch him desperately shifting suspicion away from himself. The plot concerns the breaking of a jug – its owner, Martha, believes the guilty party to be her daughter’s fiancé, and she wants the local judge, Adam, to have him convicted. A version of Heinrich von Kleist’s Der Zerbrochene Krug, normally translated as ‘The Broken Jug’, The Cracked Pot shifts the action from eighteenth-century Utrecht to Skipton, circa 1810. The play was first performed at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, in February 1995, with Barrie Rutter, John Branwell, Kate Rutter and June Broughton among the cast.
