Product details

In "Wandernutten," Theresia Walser describes the relationships between the sexes with a light hand and a sure sense of comedy. On one hand, she presents a male dinner party: Albert, who prefers to do without women; Olaf, who is always happy when he is not allowed to smoke; Rainer, who dreams of women's feet; and finally Georg, the only married man among them, who bets on his wife's fidelity. This group of men is juxtaposed with four women in a hotel bar. Three of them are colleagues: Leonie, the spokeswoman; Lydia, the password cracker; and Ines, who is supposed to remind Leonie to think of her husband. They are waiting for the Italian partner Bastini, with whom Leonie aims for a dual business and sexual merger. However, instead of Mr. Bastini, a Mrs. Bastini appears.

In Theresia Walser's play, men and women remain among themselves, grappling with their problems and neuroses. Only in the interludes do the sexes meet, in the form of Ute and Ronnie, the porn star couple who discuss "the most beautiful minor matter in the world" on a park bench, debating who cuts the better figure in the process.

"The War Reporter" is set in the garden of the director of a language institute. With temperatures already dropping, the employees are invited to an autumnal garden party where promotions are on the agenda. However, all the employees who have received awards in the past mysteriously disappear shortly afterwards. A young girl bursts into this society, which is consumed by fears for the future, petty power struggles, and relationship wars. She is the "war correspondent" and announces the war raging in the surrounding gardens, the cruelty that is very close. "Although she is provocative," Theresia Walser writes about her title character, "for me the girl is not a provocateur; she is involved in a real struggle, and with her pure descriptions, she shakes the encrusted system of coordinates of this garden society.".
