About «Bertold und Agnes» by Noa Lazar-Keinan
on 21 June 2026
Noa Lazar-Keinan’s talent lies in her ability to write compelling dialogue about ordinary people confronting life’s extraordinary challenges. Her characters feel so alive that they seem instantly familiar. She has already demonstrated this in her comedy »Short Circuit«, which was presented as a guest production at WELT∕BÜHNE in 2023 and has since been performed on numerous German stages. In her play »Bertold and Agnes«, she portrays a couple who have grown old together in happiness. But as they set off for a family gathering, it becomes clear that Agnes is increasingly at home in her memories rather than in the present.
