The tears became ice. And which are now tilted in the Bourbon. Cheers! would you say to a piece of drunken madness: Edward Albee “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?”. Since 1962, singing Martha and George this old song on stage, it’s your battle zone for the scenes from a marriage, with Nick and Honey as a younger sparring partner. A thousand times already seen, the dispute of this Päärli, you might say. And fear a little bit. There is not a song, that means: “I’m Afraid of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”?

“What are you doing?” Heike M. Goetze, “the staged Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?” for the Theater Neumarkt, Germany, is familiar with the reaction. Eight times she has seen the piece already, and none of the performances liked it very: psychologically everything, therefore, with all that Boulevard-Groove of the gender issue and so on. Then the woman says to the man: You’re a bottle! And the man says: don’t Lie ever!

Party with a fatal end

Goetze is the story on a whole different level of play, she shows, as she says, “ritual, metaphysical Moment of being together”. And since it is close to Albee. From Fun and game a real Walpurgis night is developing. A sample visit to the shows: It will be exciting.

Nor are the Mimosas out of plastic, the right tree comes later to the stage. The actor Marie Bonnet, Simon Brusis, Daniel Hoevels, and Anna Elisabeth Kummrow go to the sample step-by-step through the pieces, tried all the keys are. The votes go in a mess, from the Hiss of a kitten to the Grumbeln of a man.

Requiem for an unlived life

The scene takes place at night, which then developed its own Drive, and with this Party, a trip is start up in the Morning. Then it will be a dead, murdered. Ehedramen can also be terribly absurd. But then we begin to see with Heike M. Goetze, such as this piece “an extreme Image of today” is, in fact, a Requiem for an unlived life.

The audience can look forward to, anyway. Maybe the viewers will get in the Neumarkt is also a little Bourbon, as it was to “Biedermann and the arsonist”, a famous work of Goetze, beer and canapés.
