Uschi Glas: would love to play a 'cheeky Bavarian' - Uschi Glas seeks a fiery Bavarian role inspired by her husband’s praise
Veteran actress Uschi Glas has revealed her desire to take on a bold new role—one that lets her embrace her sharp-tongued Bavarian roots. The inspiration came from her husband, who was struck by her performance in a classic play and urged her to revisit the dialect on screen. Now, Glas is actively seeking a part that would cast her as a 'real shrew' in true Bavarian style.
The idea first took shape during Glas’s performance in Pygmalion, George Bernard Shaw’s play about a flower seller transformed by elocution lessons. In the production, she played Eliza Doolittle, mastering both Cockney slang and refined aristocratic speech. But it was her off-script Bavarian dialect—used in a separate stage appearance—that caught her husband’s attention. He found it so vivid and authentic that he encouraged her to pursue a similar role.
Glas’s search for the perfect Bavarian role continues, driven by her passion for dialect and strong female characters. Meanwhile, her recent book adds another layer to her public engagement, tackling pressing issues with the same directness she hopes to bring to her next performance. The project, still in development, could mark a standout moment in her long career.
