The Berliner Staatstheater (Berlin State Theatre), originally opened in 1774 as the Könglisches Schauspielhaus, was the most prestigious theatre in the 1930s Germany and below you can find a list of the plays performed there from the 1932-33 to the 1938-39 season. This list gives an idea which types of plays the NSDAP leadership wanted to see performed (control of the Berlin theaters were firmly in the hands of the regime, though Hermann Göring and Joseph Goebbels fought over control) and though a few outright propaganda plays such as "Schlageter" were on the repertories, it was dominated by the classics, notably Goethe, Schiller and Shakespeare.

Of special interest is the play "Richard III" which the director Jürgen Fehling used as a vehicle for lightly veiled criticism of the regime. It got the director into some problems with the authorities, but the artistic director of the theatre, Gustaf Gründgens (a friend of Görings wife Emmy), managed to protect him, he was however forced to avoid any further criticism of the regime in the other plays he directed there.

It should be noted in regard to the classics that they were normally performed in a way beneficial to the regime and they should not be thought of as "innocent" plays even though they were not the outright propaganda as those penned by Hanns Johst for example.
