The original text

A follow up of Stander and Hauptfleisch's 2003 hit Man-Alleen, the comdey tells of an actress who is fired after refusing to stick to the script in a production of Medea (as shown in Man-Alleen) and decides to bid farewell to Drama. She gets a job as a utility person in the theatre and has to solve a crisis in a venue, where there are electricity problems. As she works, interaction with the audience is achieved and sketches, adapted to the circumstances of the performance, comment on a variety of aspects, including sacred cows and local events.
