Old Love

Old love never dies. But after 40 years of marriage, time has not left Lore and Harry unscathed. The passionate Lore is afraid of soon finding herself sitting idly in the garden with Harry, who has just retired. There’s just one thing these former ’68ers agree on: their daughter Gloria has done absolutely everything wrong in life! Now, in her third marriage, Gloria wants to wed a filthy-rich industrialist who could even be her father. How did it come to this? Through brilliant dialogue, Elke Heidenreich and Bernd Schroeder tell the story of a married couple in which an entire generation can recognise itself. Never before have scenes from married life been portrayed in a funnier way.

In 2009, ALTE LIEBE by Elke Heidenreich and Bernd Schroeder was published by Hanser Verlag. Since then, this bestseller has also been performed on numerous stages. Now, ten years after the book’s publication, Elke Heidenreich has presented her own stage adaptation: 20 hilariously funny ‘Scenes from a Marriage’ featuring Lore and Harry, two former ‘’68ers’, in which an entire generation can recognise themselves.
