An evening between farewell and new beginnings at the Theater an der Kö
On April 21, 2027, a witty comedy meets the art of subtle tremors in Düsseldorf: The Farewell Letter by Audrey Schebat brings a two-person chamber play to the stage at the Theater an der Kö, telling a story of a marriage in a state of exception with humor, tension, and emotional precision. The production featuring Michaela May and Sigmar Solbach stands for linguistic elegance, fine directorial work, and the power of an evening where every sentence carries weight.

A chamber play that gets under your skin
At its center is a moment that shifts everything: Julien wants to disappear, but Maud returns home too early. From this escalation, Audrey Schebat develops a comedy about love, life crises, and the question of what remains of a relationship when silence has lasted too long. The dramaturgy relies on quick dialogues, clever escalations, and a finely balanced interplay of comedy and existential weight. Press reviews describe the piece as a witty conversational comedy that closely intertwines humor and life's questions.

Acting that creates closeness
Especially in a boulevard and chamber play space like the Theater an der Kö, the staging unfolds its particular tension: Two characters, one conflict, an evening full of friction. The performances by Michaela May and Sigmar Solbach are described in reports as precise, pointed, and moving; this very mixture creates that theater atmosphere where audience reactions are not loud, but awake and intense. The allure lies in the closeness: Gestures, pauses, and glances become dramatic events.
