Theater: No to Money!

Flavia Coste seems to have a sixth sense for theatrical escalations, as the play hasn't even lasted ten minutes before the audience is already caught in the web she has woven with her captivating debut as a playwright, with no chance of escaping. When would you be ready to commit murder? Immediately, if your husband, your son, or your best friend wants to shred, burn, or swallow a lottery ticket worth a three-digit million sum right before your eyes? Or would you listen to his arguments, which mainly revolve around the idea that - as your life has proven so far - money alone does not bring happiness and that too much of it often corrupts character, while trying to convince him with your counterarguments that money could indeed be very nice, that it could generously support charitable organizations, that you would have no worries or unpaid bills, or that you could have a bigger house, go on beautiful trips, and so on...? And what if he sticks to his plan??? "No to Money!" tells the story of Richard, who wants to commit a demonstrative act of heroism and says "no to money" after winning 162 million euros in the lottery. His wife Claire, his mother Rose, and Etienne, his best friend and business partner, do not find this funny at all. How far will the three of them go? Directed by Georg Clementi, music by Eric Lebeau, cast includes Ferdinand Copeinig, Daniela Enzi, Alex Linse, N. N. Venue: Voglpark, in case of bad weather at the Stadtsaal.
