She says. He says. - Chamber Plays of the Josefstadt

SHE says: I pushed my hands against his chest. I said, "no, not." HE says: At no point did she clearly and distinctly say "no" to any action. A successful woman meets a successful man. They begin an affair. Both are married and have children. After a few years, they decide to part ways amicably, but shortly thereafter, chance brings them back together. They engage in sexual intercourse again. She claims it was not consensual, he says that is not true. Who is telling the truth? Will the court trial provide clarity on this matter?

After the two highly successful productions "Terror" and "God," the Kammerspiele opens the season with the world premiere of another courtroom drama by Ferdinand von Schirach. Once again, the author deals with a highly sensitive topic. This time, he explores the question of whether and how far the current legislation is sufficient to legally assess sexual assaults. In public, an acquittal or dismissal of such a case is often seen as an indication that the victim has lied. Recently, one might recall the sensational trial of Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard. The fundamental issue, however, is that the court does not have to judge what actually happened, but only what can be proven.
