„Der Medicus vom Orient“ Freilichtaufführungen auf der Löwenburg Gerolstein
Aug 17, 2024 - Aug 31, 2024
Gerolstein
Dear friends of the Burgschauspieler,
It's that time again - in August 2024 we warmly welcome you to our living room at Löwenburg Castle.
This year, "The Medicus of the Orient" is coming to us.
The Medicus, his assistant Josephine and the decoy Leopold are swindlers who take money out of people's pockets by tricking them into believing that they can cure them of their illnesses and other ailments with dubious ointments, drops and the like. The trio travel from place to place in a covered wagon. They only stay for two or three days at a time. Then they have to leave because the scam is exposed and the ground becomes too hot for them. The disaster takes its course when the miracle healer comes to the attention of the princely couple Siegesmund and Sieglinde zum Hohenzinken. The princess has an ultra-long, ugly nose, from which she suffers greatly. The Medicus is to free her from this terrible affliction and help her to get a small, pretty nose. He receives a large advance payment.
How the story continues, what funny complications still happen and whether everything ends well is not revealed. Come and see for yourself...
As always, many actors, extras and especially children are needed for open-air performances to bring life to the stage. So anyone who would like to play theatre with us is very welcome. And backstage, in the set-up and with the props, we also need a lot of help.
The play dates:
- Saturday, 17 August 2024, 6.00 pm
- Sunday, 18 August 2024, 3.00 pm
- Saturday, 24 August 2024, 6.00 pm
- Sunday, 25 August 2024, 3.00 pm
- Saturday, 31 August 2024, 6.00 pm
