About
Otfried Preußler's classic children's book on stage, set to classical music by Johann Strauß. The robber Hotzenplotz steals Grandmother's coffee grinder, and Kasperl and Seppel set out to catch him, only to be captured: Seppel is put to work tidying the robber's cave and Kasperl is sold to the wizard Petrosilius Zwackelmann. It's performed in German, so it suits kids who follow spoken German or already know the story.
Where it is
