Bed of Roses - zum letzten Mal
Bed of Roses
Rock musical by Ingmar Otto
“We were young, constantly in love, and the world lay at our feet. Now we are old and should see each other again” was written in the subject line of the email, with the content being merely: June 18 at Häwelmann, at eight, not after eight. Sender Kloppi. Why not gather the old school band again for the upcoming class reunion and really let loose? Thus, the band members meet for a rehearsal for the big comeback of their band “Sunrisedown” at the old pub Häwelmann.
Much has changed. The confident bassist Falco has become stiff and cynical over time as a municipal employee, and drummer Kloppi now prefers preaching kindness as a chaplain rather than roaming the streets all night. The guitarist Muckel now only goes by Mike and has basically put his music career on hold. His crush Tine is still a powerhouse through and through, but as an emancipated family mother, she has her own problems to solve now. The teenagers of back then have grown up.
But after the first notes, they can feel it again: the teen spirit – the aroma of first love wafts through Häwelmann again, the scent of spilled beer on sweaty t-shirts, and the anticipation of life after school. Only one thing is missing: Tamara, the fifth member of the group, simply doesn’t show up...
Background information:
There’s rock in it: Bed of Roses will once again shake the walls of the Kammer theater. A musical from the pen of former KTK artistic director Ingmar Otto about friendship, aging, tolerance, and the love for music... Expect world-famous ballads and immortal rock songs by artists like Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Green Day, Guns N' Roses, and many more rock classics.
On stage, there will be a reunion with state actor Stefan Viering, who has performed in “Der blaue Engel” and “Sonny Boys”, along with Dorothée Kahler, who was part of the “Show must go on” ensemble. Furthermore, spectators can look forward to Alexander Martin, Oliver Polenz, and Luisa Wöllisch. Luisa Wöllisch has made a name for herself as an actress. In 2017, she appeared in a supporting role in the German crime comedy “Grießnockerlaffäre”, and in the film “Die Goldfische,” she played her first leading role.
