Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum

In the organizer's words:

The case seems clear. Katharina Blum has helped the suspected criminal Ludwig Götten to escape from the authorities. And she may even be his accomplice and was privy to his crimes. At least that's what Inspector Beizmenne and public prosecutor Hach believe.
But Katharina denies the accusations: she only met Götten the night before and fell head over heels in love with him. She knew nothing about his alleged deeds. The ZEITUNG, however, knows better: Katharina is summarily denigrated as a "robber's lover". A spiral of ever new accusations and borderline violations on the part of the ZEITUNG begins.
Katharina receives numerous threatening phone calls from strangers. Her ex-husband and other acquaintances make derogatory comments about her in the ZEITUNG. When journalist Werner Tötges finally gains access to the hospital where Katharina's terminally ill mother is lying, the worst can no longer be prevented ...
In this new production of Heinrich Böll's story, based on a stage version by Kristo Šagor (Rowohlt Theater Verlag), the ensemble turns the stage into an echo chamber of accusations. This raises the question of what has actually changed in the way tabloid journalism unscrupulously destroys lives.
