Katharina Schlüter, a television presenter, starts an affair with Christian Thiede, the CEO. After their breakup, the woman accuses her former lover of sexual assault. In the criminal trial, accusation confronts denial. The woman says this, the man says that. What happened between the two? And what can be proven?

Ferdinand von Schirach’s new, almost documentary-like courtroom drama examines an alleged sexual assault case and through it discusses the social roles of men and women, the #metoo movement, the contradictions between media publicity and privacy, law and justice, without becoming ideological or demagogic. It does not pass judgment, but presents everyday reality to us. It touches on the defining social issues of the past decade in the Western world and does not tell us what to think about them. It simply says: let’s think about it!

The production is produced with the permission of Gustav Kiepenheuer Bühnenvertriebs-GmbH, Berlin and Mayer-Szilágyi Theatre Agency, Budapest.

“The Theatre (the play) is always in reality a Court, where the characters raise accusations, defend themselves, complain, report mitigating circumstances, and try to convince the audience. The audience is the jury.”
