The Eight Women

By Robert Thomas, German translation by Franz Martin

Eight women from three generations, living together under one roof in apparent harmony - until a murder is committed in the master bedroom. Suddenly, everyone suspects everyone else. Tense verbal duels lay bare long-hidden conflicts and secrets, all unfolding within a single day.

This crime comedy, known worldwide above all through its hit film adaptation, comes to the large open-air stage of Freilichtbühne Ötigheim as an evening performance. The entire theatre grounds become the family estate, and eight actresses carry the piece with a distinctly French lightness - while delivering plenty of outrageous twists.
