The magazine Spiegel calls him a “great storyteller,” and the British Independent compares him to Kafka and Kleist – we are talking about bestseller author Ferdinand von Schirach.

In his new play, he deals with the dilemma that in cases of sexual violence, it is almost always a matter of one person's word against another's. In February 2024, a million viewers watched the television version of this courtroom drama.

Katharina Schlüter, a successful TV presenter, accuses her former lover, the entrepreneur Dr. Christian Tiede, of having raped her. There are no witnesses for this crime, and so the criminal trial revolves around the question of credibility. Both for the accused and the plaintiff, a lot is at stake: their future personal and professional lives, as well as their reputations, largely depend on whose version the court will confirm.

The play shows how complicated it is to reach a verdict in such cases and how closely it is linked to societal values and prevailing prejudices. “What should one think when, after exhausting all evidence, only remains: 'She says. He says.'?" says Ferdinand von Schirach.

After “Terror,” “Taboo,” and “God,” another work by the successful author is now on our schedule – with a first-class cast: including audience award winners Sabine Fürst and Ralf Stech as the former couple.
