From head to toe geared towards love

A play by Hannes Stöhr

The Berlin director Lotte (Linda Schlepps) wants to stage “Marlene in Hollywood” with her variety theater group. In the leading role, Marlene shines through her mysterious friend Mathilde (Kathrin Kestler). Wolfgang (Wolfram Karrer), Bernd (Berthold Biesinger), and Luke (Luca Zahn) play the many men in Marlene's life, accompanying with music and chutzpah.

The new play by Hannes Stöhr comically yet tragically celebrates the great film diva Marlene Dietrich, who celebrated her love for both women and men. Marlene provoked and enchanted the whole world with her performances. In exile under the palms, "The Dietrich" got involved with refugees in Los Angeles, which became "Weimar on the Pacific." The world star Marlene categorically rejected role offers from the Nazis. In World War II, "Captain Dietrich" sings for the Allied soldiers. With curiosity and humor, we dive into the film world of the 30s and 40s and the music of that tumultuous time.
