Mozart’s opera “Marriage of Figaro.” Austrian author Turrini, a master of wit and physical comedy, explores the tensions between physical and rhetorical might as servant Figaro tries his very best to cross his master’s, i.e. Count Almaviva’s plans to make use of an old law that would allowed Almaviva to spend the wedding night with Figaro’s fiancée Susanne.

The German Theater Group at Middlebury presents Heinz Erhardt’s hilarious comedy “Das hat man nun davon”. Set in a German ministry of finance, the play follows the fate of the lowly employee Willi Winzig who, threatened with losing 1/3 of his hard-earned pension for offending a superior, needs to find a way to plead “not guilty by reason of insanity” to save his retirement. And he spares no effort to convince everyone that he is crazy … In German, English synopses available at the door.
