Whiskey and Sugar: Comedy about love and loss at the grave
What happens when a mourning congregation turns into a comedy? This is exactly what visitors to the Theater Westliches Weinviertel (tww) in Guntersdorf experience, where the premiere of the play “Whiskey and Sugar” will take place on November 16th. Despite the serious occasion of a funeral, in this case of Carolin's mother, the story is told in a humorous way.
The play begins with the challenging situation of Carolin, played by a talented ensemble, standing alone at her famous mother's grave. Added to this is the unexpected absence of the undertaker and the bizarre circumstances surrounding the urn. Instead of a proper burial and an emotional farewell, unexpected comedy emerges in an otherwise melancholic scene. The basic idea that death and laughter are not far apart is treated here in a refreshing way.
The characters in focus
At the center of the story are two women, Eveline Wohlmann and Andrea Nitsche, who fight for their own perspectives and the love of a woman who is about to be buried in the comedy. It is a game of emotions that takes viewers on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The actors bring the characters to life with a lot of luck and their own approach, which is what makes the piece so charming.
The idea behind “Whiskey and Sugar” is to illuminate the deep and often unfathomable emotions surrounding loss and grief in a humorous way. A fine balance between tragedy and comedy is offered, which is intended to captivate the audience. Especially in challenging times, humor can play an important role in dealing with pain and grief.
Under the direction of tww, the theater has established itself as a special place for critical but also entertaining plays. This premiere brings a breath of fresh air by breaking down life's difficulties while putting a smile on viewers' faces. “Whiskey and Sugar” could be the perfect opportunity to question your own perception of sadness and joy.
The combination of serious topics with a humorous narrative makes the production a special experience. This theater evening in Guntersdorf is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to experience an evening full of laughter and thoughtful moments.
