When the Language Box Takes Command: An Evening Full of Timing, Tempo, and Commotion
On Friday, March 20, 2026, the theater group of GTEV 'Eschenwald' Rettenbach e.V. presents the high German boulevard comedy 'A Language Box Named Alessa' by Beate Irmisch at the Jobst country inn. In the homey theater atmosphere of the historic hall, modern technology meets sharp dialogues – and ignites a stage experience that promises laughter, surprises, and rapid entanglements.
Content and Dramaturgy: Comedy with Edge
Two crooks smell their chance in the supposedly empty house; however, the residents, secret loves, and the quirky language box 'Alessa' thwart every plan. Built as a three-act play, Irmisch relies on clear scene transitions, witty wordplay, and a dramaturgy that deliciously exploits situational comedy, hide-and-seek games, and door-open-door-close moments. Castable with five ladies and five gentlemen, the piece unfolds its energy in the precise interplay of direction, timing, and acting skills.
Set Design, Light, Acoustics: Close to the Action
The Jobst country inn offers an ideal venue with its flexible banquet hall (up to 300 guests). The indoor situation of the original – living room as the center of turbulence – can be implemented atmospherically here: short distances, clear sightlines, direct audience reactions. Warm hall lighting, punctuated spotlighting, and an understandable speech balance carry the punchlines to the last row.
Playing Style: Precision, Rhythm, Role Luck
Boulevard thrives on tempo and rhythm. Expect punchline-secure entrances and exits, finely dosed exaggeration, and a direction that lets the comedy rhythm breathe. The language box as an 'invisible player' demands technical timing and comedic ears – an enticing balancing act between text, props, and sound dramaturgy.
Reception: Laughter, Applause, Sold-Out Seats
The recent performance history shows: 'Alessa' scores nationwide with amateur stages – with sold-out performances, noticeable audience joy, and strong opening night applause. Cultural reports highlight the turbulent mix-up comedy, the successful ensemble timing, and the audience reactions between scene applause and continuous smiles.
Conclusion
Those who crave clever lightness, stage-close comedy, and a delightful communal experience will find an evening here that smiles away the everyday. 'A Language Box Named Alessa' offers accessible stage art – fast-paced, pointed, audience-friendly. A must-see live.
