When the longed-for peace becomes a comedic state of emergency
On October 18, 2026, the Effata House in Goldbach transforms into a stage for turbulent mix-ups, witty dialogues, and humorous chaos. The comedy in three acts after Ben Johnson tells the story of an elderly, single grump whose overly sensitive hearing turns every sound into a threat.
An eccentric uncle in an acoustic state of emergency
Noise, clatter, and shouting become sheer horror for the wealthy uncle. When the financially struggling nephew suddenly causes suspiciously much commotion, suspicion grows: The young man might want to remove the old man with deadly noises. This tense situation develops into a classic comedy mechanism full of mistrust, exaggerations, and surprising turns.
The silent bride as a cunning plan
The grump searches for what seems to be a perfect solution. A young, mute wife is to guarantee peace and also ensure heirs of his own. However, the supposed silence becomes the starting point for a multivoiced stage chaos. The detested nephew and his clever fiancée lead the uncle by the nose with considerable ingenuity.
Mix-ups, pace, and humorous chaos
Illustrious characters, ladies, priests, and barbers populate the lunatic stage. The production thrives on rapid gameplay, precise comedic timing, and the physical acting skills of an ensemble that sharpens every new character into the next confusion. Every apparent escape leads deeper into error, and every scene intensifies the contrast between order and unleashed chaos.
The dramaturgy of sound
Particularly captivating is the acoustic dramaturgy of the comedy. Sounds are not only a stage effect but also the engine of the plot. From the uncle's heightened sensitivity arises a theater atmosphere where even a harmless sound takes on dramatic consequences. Set design, gestures, voices, and audience reactions combine to create an immediate stage experience.
An evening at the theater for friends of classic comedy
The Tollhaus Theater Goldbach focuses on a folk-style ensemble comedy with quirky characters, pointed situations, and a plot full of deceptions. The event takes place at the Effata House and offers barrier-free access. The performance lasts from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect a fast-paced theater evening between inheritance, marriage plans, and acoustic madness.
