Frankfurt, Germany
Die Schmiere is a small political cabaret theatre in Frankfurt am Main, founded in 1950 and billing itself as "the worst theatre in the world" - a self-deprecating motto it has worn with pride ever since. Housed in the Römer district, it stages sharp satirical programmes that take aim at politics, society and human folly. It is one of the oldest continuously running cabaret stages in Germany.
