Forever Young - Rock'n'Roll to the Grave

The year is 2070. The theatre in the Grüne Zitadelle has long since closed and now serves as a retirement home for a handful of ageing actors. Each evening they gather on the stage and relive their former glories.

It could all be rather lovely - were it not for the cantankerous carer who torments her charges not only with children's songs and forced clapping, but also with musical lectures on illness, old age and death that thoroughly kill the mood. The moment she turns her back, though, the old stage stars feel the urge to live again.

From "I Love Rock'n'Roll" to "I Will Survive", one thing is clear: the fighting spirit hasn't died - it's just a little hampered by creaking bones and ill-fitting dentures.

Erik Gedeon has crafted a musical comedy packed with legendary pop and rock evergreens and sharp-edged wit.
