Vom Fischer und seiner Frau

The Fisherman and His Wife

A fairy tale with music

Based on the original by Philipp Otto Runge

by Jan Radermacher

The fisherman could hardly believe his ears. He had actually caught a talking flounder! When the flounder even claimed to be an enchanted prince, the fisherman immediately released him. Back home, he told his wife, Ilsebill. She immediately saw her chance to finally become rich. So she sent her husband back to the flounder, and he called out the famous words: "Manntje Manntje Timpete, Buttje Buttje in de See, meine Frau, die Ilsebill, will not so wie ich wohl will."

Experience a fun adventure with catchy music and imaginative stage design about wishes and how money and prestige are just one kind of wealth.
