Inside

A quiet evening full of grounding, closeness, and literary tension

With Old Varieties, the City Theater Fürth brings a novel adaptation to the stage that thrives on the quiet power of human encounter. The story, based on the bestseller by Ewald Arenz, takes place on a lonely farm amidst fields and vineyards, where refuge slowly develops into trust and silence transforms into a special bond.

When language sounds like earth, seasons, and memory

Sally, just before her high school diploma, seeks distance from the clinic, expectations, and the pressures of the adult world. Liss, who manages her farm alone, meets her without questions and without judgment. This is precisely where the literary quality of this material lies: The novel tells not loudly, but with fine observation, precise character depictions, and a language that closely intertwines nature and inner life. Potato harvest, orchard, old pear varieties, and the rhythm of the seasons become images of cautious approach.

A reading atmosphere with internal movement

The stage adaptation invites an literary experience that does not rely on grand effects but on condensation. It is in this restraint that the emotional weight lies: The audience experiences an author encounter in an extended sense, namely with a narrative world where vulnerability, self-assertion, and attentiveness grapple with each other. Those who appreciate contemporary literature with psychological depth will find an evening of quiet intensity here.

Ewald Arenz and the power of unexcited storytelling

Ewald Arenz is one of the most well-known voices in German literature. On his official website, the author points to the ongoing success of Old Varieties, which has remained on the SPIEGEL bestseller list for years and has been translated into many languages. His books combine narrative accessibility with literary substance, making the material equally viable for stage and audience. Fürth thus receives an evening that does not regard literature as decoration but as a living form of cultural experience.

Conclusion: Old Varieties promises in Fürth a warm, thoughtful theater and literature evening about trust, healing, and the slow growth of an extraordinary connection. Those who love quiet, intelligent, and atmospherically dense contemporary literature should experience this event live.
