Grandiose reading Liefers / Loos

Scenes from a marriage: Anna Loos and Jan Josef Liefers

The successful tour goes into the next round in 2025!

They are a well-rehearsed team. A married couple in life and now also on stage.

This year, they took to the stage together for the first time. The program included a reading from Nick Hornby's "Nobody said you should move out". For married couple Tom and Louise, their long-standing marriage meant the world, which has now reached an impasse. With the help of therapy, they want to get closer to each other again and from now on meet in the pub opposite before every session. They try to find out what has been forgotten, repressed or concealed all these years. In emotional dialogs, they admit to hurts and neglect and try to regain trust with the help of open and respectful communication and mutual understanding. After all, the love has remained.

They can still laugh together and the audience enthusiastically echoes this in many places, as in the previous guest performances in Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Dresden. The response was overwhelming and ticket demand unbroken, prompting Loos and Liefers to continue this successful tour in 2025!

The stage set consisting of a table and 9 chairs is constantly transformed into new islands of conversation, representing a period of 9 weeks of reappraisal. Both actors argue, remain silent or embrace; sing and dance through the evening; skillfully use the entire stage area and, because it fits, also on chairs and tables. The softly sung "If I needed you", to which Jan Josef Liefers plays guitar, is touching.

With the incomparable humor of the author Hornby, including a look at likeable anti-heroes, Liefers and Loos play a completely normal married couple for over two hours, including a short break. The two well-known and popular actors have quickly turned a reading into a production and are thrilling sold-out audiences. A poignant play that was realized by the two actors in an equally true-to-life way. Well-deserved, frenetic applause and cheers from the audience at the end.
