TheaterPACK with “Pension Schöller”

Pensioner Philipp Klapproth is looking for spectacular experiences in the big city that he can use to impress his provincial regulars at home. When he hears what an extravagant experience soirees in a mental institution are, he asks his nephew Alfred to take him to one.

Alfred, whose business plans depend on the financial favor of his wealthy uncle, has no idea how to accomplish this and turns to his friend Kissling for help. Kissling has a saving grace: to present the Schöller Pension as whatever he wants. While the guests aren’t mentally ill, they are all so eccentric that they could easily pass for lunatics.

So the three find themselves at a social evening in a deliberately family-run guesthouse, and both Klapproth’s “misinterpretation” of the events and the rather bizarre quirks of the guests ignite a firework display of the most absurd situations. Amidst the panopticon of supposed asylum inmates – from a wannabe actor with a speech impediment to a choleric retired major to a drama-crazed writer – Klapproth is torn between utter amusement and sheer fear.

He returns home highly satisfied – unaware that the final chapter of his big-city adventure is still to come…
