Traunstein's New Year's Comedy: Omdessen for one! with Christa & Franz‑Josef Fuchs
An evening full of playfulness, spotlight, and Bavarian quick-wittedness: At NUTS – the Kulturfabrik, the curtain rises for 'The 100th Birthday – or Omdessen for one!'. The stage experience takes up the legendary sketch about Miss Sophie and Butler James and translates the humor with a fine sense into a local theater atmosphere – festive, fast-paced, and with a wink into the new year.
Set Design, Timing, Temperament
Precise timing meets pointed direction. In the staging, the dramatic spiral of repetition, ritual, and increasing escalation unfolds – a lesson in the mechanics of comedy. Tables, chairs, and props become choreography; light changes accentuate gags, and the acoustics of the hall carry every laugh to the last row.
From 'Dinner for One' to the Chiemgau Variant
The material originates from the sketch 'The 90th Birthday or Dinner for One' by British playwright Lauri Wylie, popularized by Freddie Frinton. For decades, it has been considered a New Year's classic – a canon of comedy that comes to life anew in Traunstein with local color, dialect, and affectionate character depiction. The audience reaction: liberating laughter that grows with each round.
Acting Art with Fine Understatement
Christa and Franz‑Josef Fuchs rely on clear character direction: minimal gestures, maximum effect. The seemingly small supper becomes a great comedy about memory, manners, and the fragile balance between etiquette and éclat.
Service and Atmosphere at NUTS
The hall is generously furnished with tables; drinks and small snacks are allowed to be taken into the theater hall. Admission begins one hour before the performance starts – ideal for arriving calmly and enjoying the special light ambiance of the foyer.
Conclusion
For those who love New Year's comedy, this event offers a punchline-rich homage with regional flair. 'Omdessen for one!' connects tradition and contemporary wit – an evening that makes you want to go to the theater and splendidly ushers in the new year.
