Come along to Lottes Lästige Leichen!
From Tuesday 15th-Saturday 19th July at the UoA Drama Studio, the German Drama Company is putting on the hilarious play Lottes Lästige Leichen (Lotte’s Annoying Corpses). Come along for an unforgettable night, tickets available below.
Have you ever seen a play entirely in German? Come along and see “Lottes Lästige Leichen"...which translates to "Lotte’s Annoying Corpses".
The show is fun for the whole family, and has English surtitles, so you don't even have to know any German. Practice your language skills or brag about how cultured you are - who needs Duolingo?
A family reunion of a special kind: Aunt Charlotte's coffee party is severely disrupted by the Italian nephew and his mafia entourage. What is the most reliable way to get rid of the whole gang? Take three guesses.
One is reminded of the tomboyish Miss Marple and her brittle charm when "Fräulein Lotte" invites her friends to a coffee party followed by a game of poker. Fräulein Lotte is lucky enough to have an extraordinarily correct butler and three charming chambermaids who are not only verbally powerful. The four of them tackle the "disposal" of the noisy, half-silky relatives in quick succession without batting an eyelid. Meanwhile, Miss Lotte can have a cosy chat on the sofa with the inspector, who bursts into the action at an inopportune moment.
