Ein Theaterstück nach Agatha Christie inszeniert vom Berliner Kriminal Theater
Das Berliner Kriminaltheater hat sich einen Krimi-Klassiker von Agatha Christie vorgenommen: „Zeugin der Anklage“ ist das wohl berühmteste Gerichtsdrama der als „Queen of Crime“ bekannten Schriftstellerin. Es handelt vom Kampf um Gerechtigkeit in einem Gespinst aus Intrigen, Rache und Vergeltung:
Protagonist Leonard Vole (Conrad Waligura) wird beschuldigt, eine reiche Witwe ermordet zu haben. Motiv: Die ältere Dame hat ihm ihr ganzes Vermögen vermacht. Doch der Anwalt des Angeklagten, Sir Wilfrid Robert (Gert Melzer), ist fest von der Unschuld Voles überzeugt. Er kämpft trotz einer erdrückenden Beweislage mit allen Mitteln darum, seinen Mandaten vor einer Verurteilung zu bewahren.
Voles Schicksal scheint spätestens besiegelt zu sein, als seine Ehefrau Christine (Kristin Schulze / Alexandra Johannknecht) eine überraschende Aussage macht. Doch just als alles verloren scheint, taucht eine mysteriöse Frau auf – und das Verfahren nimmt plötzlich eine schockierende Wendung ...
Das Stück wurde von Charles Regnier aus dem Englischen übersetzt. Die Fassung des Berliner Kriminaltheaters stammt von Wolfgang Rump, der auch die Inszenierung verantwortet. Für die Ausstattung sorgt Erwin Bode.A play by Agatha Christie directed by the Berliner Kriminal Theater
The Berliner Kriminaltheater has taken on a crime classic by Agatha Christie: “Zeugin der Anklage” is arguably the most famous courtroom drama of the writer known as the "Queen of Crime." It deals with the struggle for justice within a web of intrigue, revenge, and retribution:
Protagonist Leonard Vole (Conrad Waligura) is accused of murdering a wealthy widow. Motive: The older lady has bequeathed her entire fortune to him. However, the defendant's lawyer, Sir Wilfrid Robert (Gert Melzer), is firmly convinced of Vole’s innocence. He fights with all means possible against an overwhelming amount of evidence to save his client from a conviction.
Vole's fate seems sealed, especially when his wife Christine (Kristin Schulze / Alexandra Johannknecht) makes a surprising statement. But just when everything seems lost, a mysterious woman appears – and the proceedings suddenly take a shocking turn...
The play was translated from English by Charles Regnier. The version from the Berliner Kriminaltheater is by Wolfgang Rump, who is also responsible for the direction. The set design is by Erwin Bode.

Bärchen, or Bär to his buddies, is a teddy bear and is more than 100 years old. His eyes have already seen a whole lot of things. He has already seen very beautiful and very awful moments, for example, when the walls shook because of the bombs. Or when Irene’s grandmother was deported. Up until now, Bär has preferred to avoid these memories. Now, together with us, he enters that have been closed up for a very long time, where important parts of his biography are brought back to life with shadow play and sound. This is a a piece of documentary theater about the life of a Jewish child under the Nazi dictatorship, told from the point of view of a teddy bear.
