Playing “The Grönholm Method” in the Weilheim City Theater from November 24th: (from left) Ludger Raschewski, Sylvia Bannert-Reischmann, Herbert Leistner and Sebastian Schmederer.

The "Kellertheater" celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Yes, they can still do it, the acting.

The team from the basement theater has dug up a really interesting piece, although there are only four protagonists when recruiting according to the "Grönholm method".

The production can be seen four times in the Stadttheater until Saturday.

Weilheim

– The room for the interview with the last four applicants for an attractive post is filling up slowly.

At the beginning only Enrique (Ludger Raschewski) and Porta (Herbert Leistner) are in the room and wonder where the HR manager is.

Enrique seems chatty, a little insecure - but why not, as he says he comes from a rather small company.

Porta is the impatient, snippy one and seems pretty sure of himself.

But then the applicant room is full.

Mercedes (career type: Sylvia Bannert-Reischmann) and Carlos (wild mix of bohemians and cosmopolitan English chatterers: Sebastian Schmederer) are coming.

These two are obviously not the types you would expect to find in a human resources department.

everyone gets their share of humiliation

From now on, the nervousness in the applicant zoo increases, because a normal hiring situation would look different.

And the applicant room increasingly feels like a cage, because leaving the room means the end of career opportunities.

To top it all off, there are also external tasks, including unmasking the undercover member of the HR department.

However, the challenges give everyone present their significant portion of humiliation.

So are all four real applicants after all?

The ending is very different than expected

The solution to the riddle is right at the end - and quite differently than expected.

In between, one experiences Raschewski larmoyantly lamenting about an earlier fate, Schmederer in the beautifully crooked role-ping-pong between torero and feminization, Bannert-Reischmann in emotional changes between stroke of fate, compassion and hardness against himself;

Leistner, on the other hand, fluctuates between bullying and open aggression.

All the actors do their job well, as the dress rehearsal on Tuesday showed.

But whether you wanted to hire one of them – probably not.

After all, ironic tips and the fantastically dense dialogues also give some cause for giggles.

A psychological piece with funny moments, not a tragedy.

The staging, directed by Bannert-Reischmann, is entertaining and also interesting, especially since there are currently similar settings with uninformed participants and external challenges as an internet hit, see for example "7 vs. wild".
