A comedy freely adapted from Anton Chekhov I By and with Cornelia Heyse and Matthias Brenner
An old actor wakes up on stage at night. He has obviously been forgotten there after a performance. He looks back into the black hole of the deserted auditorium and his life. An old prompter appears. Due to the circumstances of her life outside, the theater has become her refuge for some time now. Now the unlikely couple will live through the night together. In their fight against loneliness and their fears, they argue, play and laugh. Along the way, they work through both their lives and encourage each other.
In addition to Anton P. Chekhov, texts by Gogol, Hauptmann, Kunze, Mühsam, Pushkin, Shakespeare and finally Heyse and Brenner themselves also have their say.
Duration: approx. 70 minutes (no intermission)
