This is the crème de la crème of German spoken word theatre!
In 2008 the leading German magazine Theater Heute pronounced 'Uncle Vanya', directed by Jürgen Gosch, the theatre revelation of the year. The same jury proclaimed Jens Harzer and Ulirich Matthes best actors of 2008 for their roles as Uncle Vanya and Astrov.
