Quotes from the rehearsal period:

‘It’s a humungous thing that’s close by here, but we haven’t really dared take a good look at it yet….’ ‘Or we can just put a little sign on the bar that says “Please donate one euro”.’ ‘There should be one of us feel fresh in the morning…anyway, that’s the idea.’ ‘Does anyone else have a good quote? Preferably about something that’s a bit interesting…if possible.’ ‘This has to become an ode to glue-ing ballet floors.’ ‘The technicians here say that sometimes ten of them will be tying knots upstairs…so that’s also a fun sort of group work.’ ‘Once you all start doing things, it’s fine; but I felt a terrible fear of walking onto the stage with you all.’ ‘I did feel that everybody was panicking, wanting to be virtuoso but not really having got there yet….’ ‘Hans and Gretel will be a problem in every theatre…where do you put them, for example at frog’s house?’ ‘Think of all the sets that must be lying in farmers’ attics…’ ‘Who wants to come along when they break down The Cherry Orchard?’ ‘Simply put between brackets: we aren’t experienced builders.’ ‘It’s up to you: do you want to work with a genie or just with the three of you standing on top of each other’s shoulders?’ ‘The scrotum we got from Wunderbaum won’t fit in the lift!’
