A successful divorce lawyer, Helena, who has been dumped yet again by her married lover and is alone in a bar with a bottle of wine, meets Bob, an inconspicuous petty criminal waiting for his next assignment. They are both 35, and by the looks of things, life and this night don't seem to have much in store for them anymore – so they rush into a drunken one-night stand. That could be the end of Helena and Bob's story, were they not to meet again by chance the next day. Helena is standing on the steps of a church in her bridesmaid dress when Bob walks past her with £15,000 of stolen goods in his pocket, which he didn't manage to get to the bank in time. What started as an afternoon together turns into a long, strangely magical Midsummer's Eve, during which they spend the entire £15,000, drinking, spilling, and distributing liters of alcohol, and gaining esoteric insights in a bondage club. "Instead of linearity, this self-ironic 'play with songs' has an emotional logic that delivers laughs of recognition every minute without drifting into sentimentality. Greig plays with the weighty questions that one should always ask oneself in life. Brilliant," writes the trade magazine Theater heute.

Princess Turandot never wants to belong to a man. To deter her suitors, she has passed a cruel law: anyone who wishes to marry her must first solve three riddles. If they fail, they are executed. Countless men have already met their deaths this way. Nevertheless, Prince Calaf feels attracted to Turandot. Ignoring the urgent warnings of his father and Liù, who loves him selflessly, he faces the riddles – and succeeds in solving them! But instead of taking Turandot as his wife against her will, he now gives her a riddle of his own…
