After the premiere – Mödling: “Louse” and many more events at the Municipal Theatre

In London in 1665, an aristocratic couple and two mismatched intruders, a mysterious sailor and an underage girl, both hoping for food and shelter in this house, are locked in a dungeon-like seclusion. A plague is raging outside. Within, soon lurk the struggle for life, hidden longings, disappointed desires, roles, boundaries, and social perversions.

The stage design (Marcus Ganser) with panels built at a large angle of inclination impressively suggests that slipping and sliding are inevitable. Balint Walter bravely embodies the sailor who broke his metatarsal bone the day before and is still playing under these difficult circumstances. Hans-Juergen Bertram and Christina Saginath in disguise as the Sneligraf couple, plenty of applause for Fanny Altenberger as Morse and Robert Stock as the plague-keeper Cap.

Stefan Bruckmayer delivers a thrilling production of Naomi Wallace’s play, where a pandemic of déjà vu is hard to avoid.
