Hell on Earth - Badische Landesbühne

An apocalyptic comedy by Maria Lazar

It is the 760,839,000th anniversary of the creation of the world - and God has had enough of humanity. When the League of Nations advertises for a new kind God through a newspaper ad, He reluctantly sends Peter with two angels to Geneva. But without authority and without a valid passport, even divine emissaries can accomplish little. A colorful game of misunderstandings begins.

Vienna-born writer Maria Lazar (1895-1948) wrote the play in the 1930s; long forgotten, it was rediscovered in 2022 and premiered in September 2024. Badische Landesbühne presents this absurd comedy, in which laughter catches in your throat even today.

An introduction takes place before the performance.
