When Romeo and Juliet meet again, Potsdam becomes the stage of everyday married life

On August 15, 2026, the New Globe Theater presents Ephraim Kishon's comedy It Was the Lark, delivering a sharp-tongued, musically enriched theater experience during the Schirrhof nights at T-Werk. What begins as a winking continuation of the Shakespeare myth evolves into a pointed yet heartfelt stage experience about love, routine, and the comedy of cohabitation.

A classic that pokes fun at everyday life

Kishon's play brings Romeo and Juliet into a later phase of married life, where tragic passion has turned into a vividly lively exchange. The charm of this production lies in this: The great love story is not demystified, but rather brought into the present with fine wit. The result is a comedy that thrives on linguistic cleverness, timing, and precise acting.

The New Globe Theater focuses on intimacy and joy in performance

The Potsdam stage is known for its actor-led signature and for productions that bring the audience close to the action. Here too, Regina Gisbertz, Andreas Erfurth, and Martin Radecke embody their characters with visible pleasure in switching roles. Directed by Kai Frederic Schrickel, whose staging emphasizes the humor of the source material while not losing sight of the melancholic undertone of everyday marriage. This blend of lightness and precision shapes the theater atmosphere of the evening.

Summer evening under the open sky in the Schirrhof

The Schirrhof nights have represented open-air theater with a special atmosphere for years. In the courtyard of T-Werk, the warm evening air meets a stage where dialogues, music, and fine comedic tension converge. The play lasts 140 minutes including a break and promises an entire summer evening filled with punchlines, rhythm, and lively stage art. In case of bad weather, the performance will take place indoors.

A theater evening between laughter and insight

What makes this production special is its insightful look at the eternal question of how love survives in everyday life. Instead of mere nostalgia, a theatrical experience with pace, charm, and surprising depth emerges. Those who crave intelligent summer theater, strong characters, and a staged comedy with cultural wit will experience an evening that moves both the audience and the stage.

Conclusion: It Was the Lark promises an entertaining, intelligent, and atmospherically dense theater evening at T-Werk Potsdam. A visit is worthwhile for all who appreciate comedic spoken theater with attitude and heart.
