Maria

In the organizer's words:

Play by Simon Stephens

with English surtitles

Ria doesn't have it easy: she lives with her elderly grandmother, her job is terrible and badly paid, her mother is dead, and unfortunately she doesn't know exactly who the father of her unborn child is. But Ria is curious, stands up for herself and refuses to conform to the prejudices about her social background.

With "Maria", the English social dramatist Simon Stephens has created a powerful portrait of women in the 21st century that portrays tenderness and self-determination as possible even in a cold world. The specially composed songs by drama musician Vera Mohrs underline Maria's resilience; director David Bösch, a recognized specialist for psychologically finely crafted character development, introduces himself to the Nuremberg theatre audience with this production.
