Reading Time

Stadtbücherei

Once a month, ensemble members of the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg read at the Stadtbücherei, offering an exciting literary addition to our programme with free admission.

Accompanying the staging of »The Broken Jug« in the Marguerre-Saal, the »Reading Time« presents a story by Heinrich von Kleist: »Das Erdbeben in Chili« (The Earthquake in Chile). Kleist describes the consequences of a natural disaster of such enormous proportions that it defies imagination and forces us to re-examine the meaning of life. Read by Rachid Zinaladin.

This year, »Die kleine Hexe« (The Little Witch) will be performed as a family show during the Christmas season in the Old Hall, adapted for the stage by John von Düffel. In »Familien-Lesezeit«(Family Reading Time), Martin Wißner presents the original novel by Otfried Preußler, which has delighted generations of children time and again. For children aged 6 and up and adults.

In keeping with the great family drama »Cat on a Hot Tin Roof« in the Marguerre-Saal, Lesezeit presents a story by Tennessee Williams from 1954 that already anticipates motifs from the play: »Sommerspiel zu dritt« (Summer Game for Three). Here you can get to know a more personal, natural and poetic Tennessee Williams. Read by Susanne Berckhemer from the Junges Theater ensemble.
