Theater: "A Week Without Erika"

Comedy in Two Acts by Steffen Vogel

CONTENT:
For straw widower Heinz, it was supposed to be a relaxing week. While his wife Erika visits her sister, Heinz has planned a laid-back holiday schedule consisting of relaxation and the latest novel by his favorite author. However, it seems he has underestimated his neighbors. While Erika's best friend Leonore constantly nags him about the untrimmed hedge, neighbor's daughter Lisa suddenly shows up with her fiancé Bruno. And one thing is immediately clear to crime fan and amateur detective Heinz: something is off with this fiancé. This suspicion quickly proves to be true when Heinz becomes an eavesdropper to a genuine murder plot.

The only problem is that the police don't really believe him, and Commissioner Charlotte gets involved much too late – and rather half-heartedly at that. Instead of intervening immediately, the young investigator wants to gather evidence and clarify the open questions first.

Where is the body? Who was actually murdered? What role does Leonore play in this? And is it even permissible to trim beech hedges when the rockhopper penguin is still in breeding season?
