A novel that goes under the skin
Ewald Arenz writes with that rare clarity that gives depth to everyday life. Old Varieties represents a literary tone that remains poetic and unobtrusive yet unfolds psychological tension. The stage story at the Fürth City Theater captures this core: an encounter between two women who do not need to explain themselves and, precisely for that reason, open up to each other. The material belongs to those contemporary literary narratives that remain in memory for the long term. ([tourismus-fuerth.de](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/event/alte-sorten-428746-mvk/))
