With "Da Haftlmacher" the Brettlbühne Vaterstetten celebrates a successful premiere of their new play.

There are still tickets for the upcoming performances.

Parsdorf - It's done!

The first two performances of the Brettlbühne Vaterstetten in the Alte Post in Parsdorf were successful.

"It was the best premiere we could have wished for!" the actors beamed happily afterwards.

In Peter Landstorfer's piece "Da Haftlmacher", there are also some thoughtful and socially critical tones, despite the sometimes hearty humour.

The deceased Haftlmacher (Günther Ober-Winter) is responsible for this as a warning voice from the afterlife.

But before that, he started a competition between his friends.

After his death he left 200,000 marks and called for a competition between women and men.

Whoever wins gets the money, if neither party wins, the pastor gets the money for the poor in the community.

It goes without saying that both women and men will soon dig deep into their bag of tricks to win the competition.

A juicy Leberkas plays just as important a role as the age-old attraction between man and woman.

Competition between women and men - until the ghost goes through the wall

But the horror is great when the ghost of the Haftlmacher himself intervenes in the events, calls on the parties to be fair and just as suddenly as he came, disappears again through the middle of the wall.

And then, over time, more and more doubts arise: Is it worth the money to change, bend, and deny yourself so much?

On stage there was a reunion with some "old hands" like Doris Fragner as mad Lorelei, Carola Reith as a midwife with a powerful voice or Fritz Humplmayr as the eternally hungry Schwartl Schorsch.

Stefan Eggl had only recently slipped into the role of host, as a replacement for another player who had to leave the current ensemble for family reasons.

Tobias Eberle had his first big appearance this year, skillfully portraying the insidious zincer Ludwig.

Old hands, new faces and hearty quotes: "...the fun ends with the beer!"

The actors had rehearsed three times a week, for which they were rewarded with plenty of applause and prolonged applause at the end of the three-act play.

And the spectators not only experienced an enjoyable evening with many funny sayings (“Modesty is an ornament, but the fun stops with the beer”), but thanks to Carola Reith, they also learned a considerable repertoire of wonderful, hearty Bavarian swear words.

There are further performances until October 29th on Fridays and Saturdays in the Alte Post in Parsdorf.

Start is at 8 p.m., admission from 6.30 p.m.

Tickets for 12 euros are available in advance from Anni Drescher, Tel. (08106) 6894 and from the Löntz stationery in the Baldham Rossini Center, Tel. (08106) 6769.
