Chaim is a tourist from Tel Aviv and is traveling through romantic Franconia as a passionate cyclist. He is also an avid chess player. In the evenings, he sits in his inn with an old chessboard and plays games by himself. Because no one in the village plays chess. Even the innkeeper does not know anyone. Except for one. But his first name is Adolf, and he does not want to suggest this to the Jew Chaim at first. But the longing for a game is too great, so Chaim agrees to invite Adolf. He comes, and a memorable chess evening begins. Because Chaim and Adolf have more in common than they initially think….

Successful author Stefan Vögel (The Kidney) has written an entertaining and, above all, exciting play with CHAIM UND ADOLF about German history and its effects that reach into the present day. He tells two fateful family stories from World War II and the repression of a subsequent generation of children and grandchildren. And he tells a unique love story that leaves many riddles for posterity.

The special twist: The Ansbach Theater performs this play on the move in various Ansbach inns, restaurants, or pubs. The audience is part of the action.
