Director, author and “artiste discoverer“ Markus Pabst always has his next show lined up. After Der helle Wahnsinn and his own Wir sind Pabst, he has penned Sally und Fred. This piece, for which he also serves as director, is about  a performer past his glory days, Fred (Helmut Baumann), and the young artist Sally (Sarah Bowden), who works as a geriatric nurse to stay afloat – the beginning of a crazy love-hate relationship. Bowden and Baumann already proved their brilliant chemistry in Ball im Savoy at the Komische Oper. Now they have another opportunity to have a jaunt together. The music, by the way, comes courtesy of Jack Woodhead.
