Children's play based on a story by Friedrich Wolf by Nora Schumacher with music by Stefan Hiller
Production: Marc Gelhart
With: Isabell Christin Behrendt, Marc Gelhart and others
Opera singer Lutz-Lüder Löwenhaupt buys a live goose for the upcoming Christmas feast, which is to become a festive roast. This annoys housekeeper Therese, who now has a lot of extra work to do with the lively fowl. Son Peerle, on the other hand, is delighted and immediately takes Auguste, as he christens the goose, to his heart.
The fact that she is to be kept in a box in the dark cellar is unbearable for him. And so Peerle and his sister Greta decide, in a clandestine night-and-fog operation, to move Auguste into their shared nursery - which ends in utter chaos.
The following day, there is no question of a contemplative Christmas atmosphere either, as Auguste disturbs Father Löwenhaupt's singing rehearsal, who decides in a rage to kill the goose himself. But that's easier said than done, and the attempt goes badly wrong - to the delight of the children and to Auguste's great happiness!
By the way:
The popular GDR Christmas tale "DIE WEIHNACHTSGANS AUGUSTE" by Friedrich Wolf achieved great popularity not least thanks to its film adaptation shortly before reunification. The theater version will now be seen for the first time on the stage of the Weyher Theater and will be fun for young and old alike with lots of humor and rousing music!
