Wilhelm Busch: Die fromme Helene

With Pirkko Cremer and Hans Kaspar Scharf on piano

A staged reading of the tragicomic tale of religious hypocrisy and dubious bourgeois morality. Die fromme Helene is one of Wilhelm Busch's most beloved characters - the figure draws on his experiences during the Frankfurt years he spent with the Keßler banking family.

"Das Gute - dieser Satz steht fest -
Ist stets das Böse, was man läßt!"

Running time: approx. 1.5 hours including one interval. The production is supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Frankfurt.
