Big and Little (German: Groß und klein) is a 1978 play by German writer Botho Strauß. It is a station drama in ten scenes and follows a woman, Lotte, who travels through Germany and seeks human connections, but is unsuccessful as every person she encounters is locked into his own world. The play has the subtitle Scenes (Szenen) and has also been performed in English as Big and Small. It premiered on 8 December 1978 at the Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer in West Berlin, directed by Peter Stein and starring Edith Clever. It was broadcast as a German television play in 1980. Other TV versions include a 1995 Portuguese language adaptation that was cut to 1 hour and 20 minutes, and a 1998 episode of Poland's Teatr Telewizji, which starred Teresa Budzisz-Krzyzanowska as Lotte, and similarly trimmed the runtime to 1 hour 25 minute.The play has also been titled Great and Small, as was the case for a 1983 British production which starred Glenda Jackson.
