Rommersdorf Festspiele "Holmes & Watson"
Stiftsstraße 2, 56566 Neuwied
Who’s afraid of the black dog?!
A ghost is haunting Europe, an ominous virus is spreading: fear! Fear of the apocalypse, of refugees, of social decline, of war, of everything.
Even Great Britain seems to be infected already. The result: mass hysteria, incitement, fantasies of isolation, Brexit. An evidently easy game for populists and other dark forces that need this bubbling breeding ground to thrive.
Time for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson! With expertise, progress, courage, and wit, they investigate their most challenging case and provide an example of how to drain the swamp of fear: a hellish ghost dog is said to be roaming the misty Dartmoor. An ancient curse of the Baskerville family hovers like fog over marsh, peat, and mud. Panic, death, despair. In the end, however, nothing is as it seems. Deliverance and hope – far beyond national borders…
With the power of modern folk theater, the NN Theater Köln is addressing this highly relevant subject and spreading the message of positivity across all social classes. The ensemble creates theater for everyone, for young and old, theater-savvy and theater-averse. With disrespectful respect for the original. In this context, humor is the strongest weapon against the disturbing developments of the present.
