Edgar Wallace, the celebrated crime writer, has been dead for a long time. Or so it seems—because in truth, life hasn't let him go, since the murderer from his most famous case was never caught. The "Ringer" was a master of disguise. No one ever knew whose form he was currently assuming. And he was an exceptional case: where the police and the justice system failed, he took matters into his own hands… but vigilante justice is vigilante justice, even if Wallace can certainly understand it. And so, in order to finally catch the Ringer after decades, Wallace has to listen to his therapist. And use dummies to meticulously reconstruct the case from back then. Seasoned detectives from Scotland Yard are at his service in this first-rate crime thriller, enhanced with four actors, original hand puppets from Scotland Yard's evidence room, and Edgar Wallace himself. This adult puppet theater, which features historical Grand Guignol hand puppets and a life-size figure, will be performed in high German with dialect interludes; suitable for ages 12 and up.
Tickets are CHF 40 for adults and CHF 30 for students.
