Inès, Estelle, and Garcin meet after their deaths – in a mysterious room with no windows or mirrors. The door remains locked, the bell seems broken. No fire, no torturers, no tormentors. Yet they are certain: This must be hell. But why does damnation look so different from what they imagined? And why were they, of all people, locked in this room together? They don't know each other; they could hardly be more different. But is their encounter truly a coincidence? It soon becomes clear: Their punishment is not physical pain, but the inevitable togetherness. They observe, judge, and penetrate each other – and make each other's lives hell.

Reithalle

Güllen's train station is run down. The streets and buildings are also dilapidated, many shops are closed, and most of the citizens' possessions are pawned. Money is needed, and urgently! The announcement of a visit comes at just the right time: Claire Zachanassian, a billionaire philanthropist, is returning to her hometown. Once born in Güllen as Klara Wäscher, she was forced to leave the town in a hurry after her childhood sweetheart, Alfred Ill, played a dirty trick on her. Now Claire is back and makes the people of Güllen an offer: One billion, but for that, Alfred Ill must die. The offer is rejected with great indignation. Better poor than bloodstained! But little by little, consumerism increases in the town, a new town hall is to be built, and even the church suddenly has new bells...

The Visit of the Old Lady

GLOBE Coburg

When a man dies, no woman is allowed to leave the house for the next eight years, as tradition dictates. Recently widowed Bernarda Alba enforces this tradition rigorously, using force if necessary. Honor and social reputation are paramount for her. For her five daughters, the house becomes a prison. Locked up and cut off from the outside world, they long for love, freedom, and self-determination. But Bernarda tolerates no disobedience—or marriage below social status. Only Augustina, the eldest daughter, is allowed to become engaged to the attractive Pepe el Romano. But her youngest daughter, Adela, also has her eye on him.

Bernarda Alba's House

Globe Coburg

In Germany, up to 400 billion euros are inherited each year – but that's over now. A radical inheritance reform is intended to ensure real redistribution: Inheritances will be redistributed by lottery, and the bureaucracy will – naturally – be taken over by the job center. Armin and Gabor sit in a dreary, gray civil servant's office and now also process inheritance applications. Silke's application for her inheritance was unfortunately rejected. This is annoying, because her father was extremely wealthy. She should at least be entitled to a lottery ticket, Silke believes, and storms into the job center in a rage, where she meets Maude in the waiting room. She was caught collecting deposit bottle deposits – and Gabor promptly deducted the deposit money from her basic social security benefits. Two women, two completely different lives – but one common goal: They no longer want to be sidelined by this system. Without further ado, they grab their weapons and storm Gabor's office to reclaim their "rights" with all their might.
