"Where are our belongings? We left them in the left-luggage office. You can do that for five weeks."
Can we hide from the world? What do our hearts need to find peace and lightness these days? Together with the performers, the audience picnics and listens to the radio play in the countryside in an attempt to unwind. In 1931, the short summer story "Schloss Gripsholm" about a vacation of Lydia aka 'the princess' and Peter in Sweden was published - and became one of Tucholsky's most popular works. But what drove the left-wing political author to write a supposedly entertaining novel in such volatile times, a 'light read' with lots of atmosphere and little plot - or is there more to it than that?
"We fled from the loneliness of the world to each other."

Press "...a beautiful excursion that lives on the one hand from Tucholsky's ironic and tender stylistic mastery, and on the other from the excellently recorded text of the book from the headphones. The 'Versuch einer Leichtigkeit' creates this wonderful atmosphere of the lightness of a summer's day. But it also shows that this lightness can quickly fizzle out because - especially at the time when Tucholsky wrote the book - it is hardly possible to escape from the human abyss." - HAZ, 03.07.2023
