Hausmeister Krause - Du lebst nur zweimal

A wild farce by Tom Gerhardt and Franz Krause

Starring: Tom Gerhardt, Irene Schwarz, Stefan Preiss, Luana Bellinghausen and Stephan Bieker

Alert! Alert! The notorious troublemaker Dieter Krause (alias Tom Gerhardt) is back - and this time with a full-blown drama. After a decade of tormenting his fellow citizens on TV, the stubbornly over-motivated caretaker is now storming the stage. Naturally, he brings along his hopelessly uncultured family and the inevitable dachshund club...

Krause is in the middle of a blazing marital war with his Lisbeth: he has once again forgotten their wedding anniversary, his mind entirely occupied with his presidency of the dachshund association. Lisbeth has had enough and decides to punish him by moving out for a few days. It might all have blown over quickly, if only she hadn't left a message - one that Dieter interprets in his own unique way and that nearly drives him out of his mind. Apparently Lisbeth is seizing the opportunity to pursue a romantic adventure with his worst enemy. An unthinkable betrayal! Krause feels "naked among hyenas"... and starts plotting his revenge. The plan is to hit Lisbeth where it hurts and shake her up good - which it does. Just not quite the way Dieter had in mind. And now the real fun begins...

"Hausmeister Krause: Du lebst nur zweimal" is an absurd piece of popular theatre featuring the best-loved characters from the TV series - for everyone who doesn't need to go down to the basement to have a good laugh.
