Comedy by Hans Balzer Premiere10. October 2025
Something's up! Gundula realizes this immediately when she arrives at her good friend Sneiwitt's house. Her husband Lafrenz supposedly has to go on a business trip overnight and doesn't want to leave his faithful wife alone. How fortunate for Sneiwitt that the clever Gundula can already smell a rat. And indeed: Lafrenz has made a bet with his best friend and womanizer Säutmund. If Säutmund is convinced that all women are easy to get, it must be child's play for him to seduce Sneiwitt and get hold of her stocking as proof. But the two women discover this unspeakable plot and devise a ludicrous counter-plan to get back at their masters.
The battle of the sexes is an age-old theme and Balzer's comedy, which premiered at the Fritz-Reuter-Bühne in 1953, could now be described as an "old ham". But if you take a closer look at the characters, you can see a deep friendship between two morally stable women, men in a cockfight and that the relationship between the sexes has not changed as much as we would like to believe today.
