It is a testament perhaps not just of taste, class and culture, but the comedy "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by Franz and Paul Beautiful Than in the processing of Curt Goetz is one of my personal "favorite plays." The play stands or falls with the cast of the traveling theater manager Emanuel Striese. Gustav Knuth was excellent in the film version of 1954 - and the unique full-blood actors Willi Millowitsch was written like a glove. Both celebrated almost the climax of the piece, the famous "Striese monologue" .! At the end of Act II:
"Striese farce - Listen, now, my bile is about Do you know anything, what a dope, it's true, we move from place to place, but my August? colleague, the Duke of Meiningen, made it so well -.. It is true that I can think actors pay almost no salary, but they do make more There is, for example, my first hero - a former pharmacist - this is allows using a single kerosene lamp and a red glass sink you the sun that you just picture one, a lighting inspector, how to find him flickers. And the family life among my people! My wife cooks for the whole society, so get used to my Sozietà on deprivation. The character actor is not too proud to peel the potatoes, and my youngest can not sleep at all, if not the schemer, the good guy, he carries around an hour before in the room. And as devoted to me are the people. My teen-naive lover is now eighteen years with me soon, she thinks it does not go away. And Finally, as my wife - - not only that they concerned the POS system, the actors burns the hair, in the city and at night the biggest props zusammenborgt Roles played, no, she has, despite these overburdened over the years, yet found time to gift me with a lovely group of children. You see, sir, which is made from a dope, and I am the director! Recommend me! Turns to the waiver.

(Kempten 1967) Lilian Schacherl provides knowledgeable, unadorned and very original lot about the traveling "ham" of 17 until the early 20th Century. But above all, sound is always something of the spirit of "Striese-monologue" by the treatise, which thus gives a lot of the special atmosphere of the simple traveling theater past. This theater showed
find popular plays, in which, similar to the puppet theater, often a comic figure was involved, also pieces of known playwrights. Very popular as Schiller's "Robbers" are - even if the labor-intensive productions such templates to small teams a lot of improvisation demanded. In general took it as a rule with the faithfulness not as accurate: "As the piece is a word too long and, of course, unbearable, so now all that is not essential to the whole of the story stay away, we are assured the same time, trigger further everything is set up so that it ends up at about 9 clock reliably, without the audience will lose some entertainment.
