Abstract
In two theatrical works of different ages - "Adam de la Halle's Jeu de la Feuillée" (13th century) and Georg Büchner's "Woyzeck" (XVIII c.) - an unusual connection appears: that between peas and madness. Reasons, circumstances and variants of such a connection are discussed in this article.
