Touring Theater Thespiskarren A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
Julia and Thomas are amicably ending their relationship. After years of shared days, it’s clear: the marriage no longer works. Separate ways, friendly, factual, adult. Only: neither wants to be alone. And because you want to support each other and a little security doesn’t hurt, they set up their blind dates at the same restaurant at the same time. Table to table, they have full view of each other’s surprises: Julia’s self-absorbed counterpart, Thomas’s unexpectedly candid date with an unasked-for desire for children. The evening spirals out of control just as planned, as do the subsequent attempts: dating apps, neighborhood matchmaking enthusiasm, accidental reunions at the wrong moment. In the end, the uncomfortable realization: separating amicably is an art. Not falling back in love with each other – that’s another. Quilter comedy in top form
Peter Quilter, British author with a worldwide career (Glorious!, End of the Rainbow), writes what he does best: a fast-paced, punchline-rich farce with insight into human nature. Divorced people are not victims here, but people with a story. And we laugh heartily with them – not at them. Why this evening
Four actors who know how to deliver punchlines. An author whose plays are successful worldwide. A story that captures the spirit of the theater generation 50+ without caricaturing it, and in which you see yourself – whether happily partnered, recently separated, or happily solo. The ensemble
Janina Hartwig as Julia – a woman who has decided that something must come after marriage. Especially known as Sister Hanna in "Um Himmels Willen" (2006–2021), trusted by millions. Already a guest multiple times at the Stadthalle Singen.
Caroline Beil as Julia’s fellow sufferer in the dating jungle – actress, singer, TV presenter. Has been on stage since she was six years old, touring multiple times with the Touring Theater Thespiskarren.
Dieter Landuris as Thomas – the man who must learn that dating apps have their own grammar. One of the distinctive faces of German film and television, with the right sense for Quilter’s laconic style.
André Vetters completes the quartet – with an instinct for timing, without which this farce would not work. When purchasing a discounted ticket, please show the corresponding proof of eligibility at the entrance. Additional information:
House opening: 6:30 PM
