Marie-Luise Marjan - "Mord mit Muttern"

Marie-Luise Marjan reads short crime stories by Ralf Kramp - bloodless, quirky, and wickedly dark. A crime evening with wit and charm.

The actress, best known as Mutter Beimer from the long-running series "Lindenstraße" and from stages including the Thalia Theater Hamburg and Bochumer Schauspielhaus, brings to life stories by the "king of the short crime tale": diabolical cleaning ladies commit cold-blooded murder, a good cup of coffee turns out to be poison, a walking frame becomes a weapon, and elderly widows count the graves of their many departed like beads on a string.

Ralf Kramp is considered one of the most acclaimed German-language authors of comic crime fiction - and his stories sound just a little more dangerous in Marjan's hands.

"A piece of German television history. As the 'mother of the nation', Marie-Luise Marjan is an institution of German TV." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
