"Lahnstein Theater's Production of "A Heart and a Soul" Wins Crowd Over with Guffaws and a Dose of Nostalgia for Alfred the Repugnant"
The much-loved comedy "Ein Herz und eine Seele" is set to make a comeback at Theater Lahnstein in January 2025, following high demand and widespread acclaim. This stage adaptation, based on the famous TV cult series by Wolfgang Menge, promises a delightful journey back to the 1970s.
The production, which premiered in January 2025, features a mix of sharp humor and unvarnished social criticism that continues to make it timeless. The biting dialogues about petit-bourgeois values and social norms were well-received at the premiere, reminiscent of the original episodes.
Karl Krämer plays the lead role of Alfred Tetzlaff, a narrow-minded and often intolerable character, while Silva Heil portrays Else, Alfred's good-natured and often helpless wife. Marie Eberhardt plays the resolute niece of the neighbor, providing humorous surprises, and Jens Bache takes on multiple roles, including the policeman and the waiter, with great wit and charm.
The stage design, created by Rocco Hauff and his wife Marina, immerses the audience in the 1970s with typical patterns, colours, authentic projections, and props. Widespread exhibitionism caused consternation in the Tetzlaffs' kitchen, as depicted in one of the images from the stage adaptation. The design perfectly captures the retro feeling of Alfred's living room.

Jule Menzel-King plays the role of Rita, Alfred's daughter, and Nikolas Knauf plays the role of Michael, the unwanted son-in-law.
