*Forum Peine* *Friday, 05/03/2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Kirsten Lange Half-Naked Construction Workers *A cheeky comedy based on the bestseller of the same name by the well-known* *cabaret artist Martina Brandl* Ute is a single woman in her forties, living in a shared flat in Berlin. She is a fighter who never gives up! But after the end of her last relationship, she draws a radical conclusion: Absolutely incapable of a relationship! True love? A fairy tale! Ute decides to enjoy her newly gained freedom to the fullest from now on. So much for the plan. Because that is all easier said than done: There is no chance of a career, her flatmate is annoying, and good sex is scarce anyway once you’re over 30 — at least that’s what Ute thinks. But when a Johnny Depp lookalike and the fundamentally solid, nice Michael suddenly sweep into Ute’s life at the same time, her world is turned upside down. “Half-Naked Construction Workers” is a cheeky comedy about male clichés, female fantasies, and the realization that being single is not for the weak. An amusing play that shows: you can grow through your problems and should not always take yourself too seriously! Only one question remains: what do the sexy construction workers from the 90s cola commercial have to do with all this? *Cheeky humor guaranteed, not just for single women!* *School pupils, students, and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.* *Wheelchair users please register!

*Forum Peine* *Tuesday, 09/03/2027 at 11:30 a.m.* Light Fingers *For lower secondary school | By Peter Griffith* *White Horse Theatre* Dennis wants a new computer, but his father refuses. Dennis also wants to impress the pretty Gina, but she is only interested in the cool Zack. Maybe Gina will think Dennis is cool if he steals a bottle of expensive perfume for her from the department store? Maybe then, with Gina's help, he can sneak away with the computer he has been dreaming of? Dennis is plagued by a guilty conscience and is afraid of being caught. “Light Fingers” explores the circumstances that can lead young people into crime, for example through peer pressure, low self-esteem and the promises of the advertising industry. *Students, university students and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.* *Wheelchair users please register!

Should he simply sit back and wait for the prophecy to come true — or should he, at his wife’s urging, help the prophecy along and murder the current king? Macbeth’s decision to take his fate into his own hands and murder Duncan brings him power and fame, but leads to further murders, war and madness — the country descends into chaos. Timeless themes such as unbridled ambition, corruption, abuse of power and the moral decay of leaders are artistically explored in this play. *Students, university students and trainees up to the age of 27 receive a discount upon presentation of the relevant ID.* *Wheelchair users please register!

*Forum Peine* *Saturday, 13.03.2027 at 8:00 p.m.* Ozzyfied - Ozzy Tribute *A tribute to the immortal* *Prince of Darkness* With the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the music world has lost one of its greatest icons. But his energy, his voice, and his legacy live on on stage, in the hearts of his fans, and through bands like Ozzyfied. Since 2018, Ozzyfied has been bringing the raw power and dark fascination of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath to the stage live. Founded in the Bergisches Land, the band has made a name for itself in the metal scene with energetic shows and musical authenticity. A true mark of distinction: Ozzyfied has already appeared several times on the legendary Full Metal Cruise, organized by none other than the Wacken team. The band has also already thrilled audiences at the world-famous Wacken Open Air. At the center of Ozzyfied is Henning Wanner, an experienced musician (including “White Line”, “Circle II Circle”), who powerfully embodies the role of Ozzy with a strong voice, presence, and deep respect for the original. This is not about imitation, but about pure passion for the music and the legacy of the “Prince of Darkness”. Ozzyfied is more than just a tribute; it is a sincere, powerful homage. The show takes you through the great classics such as “Crazy Train”, “Mr. Crowley”, “Bark at the Moon”, “War Pigs” or “Paranoid” and captures not only the sound, but also the unmistakable aura of the original. The Ozzyfied concert is more than just music; it is a celebration of Ozzy Osbourne’s life’s work. Loud, emotional, unforgettable.

He has made himself comfortable among the royal white shirts. The King himself has allowed him to stay. Madame Plumeau sends him to his parade cushion and begins to tell a story: the young, handsome tomcat Louis, who desperately wants to live at the royal court. It quickly becomes clear that this is the story of the old Louis. When he and the youngest miller's son Hans are thrown out, he seizes the opportunity: a hat and fine leather boots turn him into a gentleman who, through cunning, helps Hans to happiness and wealth.
