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

Flower girl Eliza Doolittle unexpectedly becomes involved in a bizarre bet made by phonetics professor Henry Higgins: he wants to turn the uneducated street vendor into a refined lady. A hard and humiliating time begins for Eliza, but she stands up to the drill and shines at Ascot and at the London Diplomatic Ball. Soon, however, she realizes that she has only been a plaything for men and demands respect. For the difference between a lady and a flower girl lies not in her behavior, but in the way she is treated...

My Fair Lady

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.
