As part of the Rodgau Theatre, EURO-STUDIO Landgraf will be performing KALTER WEISSER MANN on 10 October at 8 pm in the Bürgerhaus Nieder-Roden, Römerstraße 15. A death, a funeral service, a priest, a mourning society. The funeral service for Gernot Steinfels, the patriarch of a medium-sized German company, who died peacefully at the age of 94, could have gone off without a hitch. Could... The new managing director in spe, Horst Bohne, organises the funeral service for the company and, among other things, orders a funeral wreath with a mourning ribbon on behalf of all the employees. Horst Bohne is unaware of the predicament this ribbon will get him into, as the text on it reads: "In deep mourning. Your employees". When all the employees see the ribbon shortly before the ceremony begins, his female colleagues are extremely confused. Why not "... and female employees."? Or employees or co-workers? The grieving congregation - led by the future boss - quickly lurches from one linguistic misstep to the next, leading to a micro-aggressive cultural debate about gender issues, sexism and politically correct behaviour. The priest's attempts at conciliation come to nothing, while the company's management is caught up in a highly topical and pointed battle of opposites. Dietmar Jacobs and Moritz Netenjakob's entertaining and highly topical comedy impresses with its speed, precision and a potpourri of contemporary discourse. Advance tickets from 22 euros are available from the Department of Culture, Sport and Volunteering in the Alte Apotheke, Schwesternstraße 10, 63110 Rodgau-Jügesheim and online at www.frankfurtticket.de. Remaining tickets can be purchased at the box office from 7.00 pm.
