Nice

by Kristo Šagor
Young Theatre

Mark and Malte share a flat. Mark is drawn further and further into an online game, spending thousands of euros and neglecting his friends. Malte, on the other hand, is stressed out by the gloomy reality of life and faces an increasingly hopeless struggle with his fears.

»Nice« recounts the reality of two young men who support each other – with humour and gravitas, honesty and tenderness. For even when there’s not always a solution at hand, most things are easier when they’re handled together.

Kristo Šagor, the new Director of Young Theatre, revives the Theater Konstanz premiere production of this successful play for Heidelberg.

Congratulations!
