“The theatre of our time is appalling. Rarely is it so appalling, however, as when they perform this wretched Shakespeare.“ This quote was taken from the English naval administrator and bon viveur Samuel Pepys' (1633-1703) diaries, which were written in 1660-69 and handed down in their entirety- a rare and precious source about daily life in 17th century London.
The musical reading “Peeping at Pepys“ by the brilliant Lautten Compagney Berlin and the soprano singer Melanie Hirsch guarantees an entertaining evening at the theatre. The outstanding actor Gustav Peter Wöhler is at the heart of the production, lending his voice to Pepys' entertaining and informative accounts, which cover all aspects of life.
You already know Gustav Peter Wöhler- so don't miss out on Samuel Pepys!
