Wirtin Krall
Frau Reichert
Martha
It is set in a dreary village in the Schwabian-Frankish Forest where the seemingly reserved Lena lives with her tyrant of a husband, Johannes, in a loveless marriage. Johannes is the village's spiritual leader and Lena is his faithful, ever-ready-to-serve wife. Lena's daily life is characterized by grinding monotony, a life narrowly circumscribed by nursing, organ playing and the duties of the marriage bed. The mysterious murder of a village girl suddenly knocks this humdrum existence off its tracks. In the wake of these events Lena discovers the affection and tenderness for which she has always longed in Paul, the village mechanic. This encounter is the start of an emancipation that leads her not to reveal Paul's secret regarding the girl's murder, for fear of losing her newly won piece of happiness. In turn it means she has to remain silent, as she has always done in her many years of marriage. So it is that this love ultimately turns Lena herself into a fallen angel.
Frau von Kammer
A singer flees from Nazi Germany, travels to Paris and befriends a young writer, his lover and a professor.
У Розмари нет никакого желания прозябать в нищете и воспитывать малышей, экономя на мелочах. Она хочет роскошной и беззаботной жизни, наивно полагая, что для достижения этой цели молодости и красоты вполне достаточно. Мужчины становятся ступеньками на пути в высшее общество. Но когда ты уверена, что играешь «свою игру», очень трудно осознать, что ты - всего лишь одна из карт, пусть козырная, но в чужой колоде.
Mother
A drama directed by Ralph Bohn.
