Do kids need to speak German?

The play is performed in German. Kids who already know the King Thrushbeard story follow it much more easily, so reading it together at home first helps.

How do we book tickets?

Each show has its own Order online link on the Berlin.de event page. Pick your date and time first, then book.

Is it okay for a 3-year-old?

Yes, the production is made for children from 3. It is a traditional telling of the tale, so it suits kids used to sitting through a story read aloud.

About

A stage version of the fairy tale König Drosselbart (King Thrushbeard). A proud princess mocks every suitor who comes to the castle, until her fed-up father vows to marry her to the next beggar who turns up. Then one knocks at the gate. Three actors tell the story, with music by Christian Gröschel. A gentle first theater outing for kids who like kings, castles and a twist.

From €6.17
