About the event
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in a small town: cronyism, embezzlement of public funds, construction scandals, and turning a blind eye to other “irregularities” are the order of the day. And things could happily, easily, and comfortably carry on just like that for those in power, had an inspection in the form of a government inspector not suddenly been announced.
Venue
Theater Forum Schwechat
Ehrenbrunngasse 24, 2320 Schwechat
Located in the heart of Schwechat, on Ehrenbrunngasse, the Theater Forum Schwechat has been a firm fixture in Lower Austria's cultural scene for decades. The State of Lower Austria describes the venue as a cornerstone of the local theatre landscape, and indeed, the programme ranges from in-house productions and comedies to guest performances, cabaret, satire, and music, complemented by children's and youth theatre. The hall, with its wood-panelled walls and red rows of seats, accommodates around 140 guests and creates an intimacy between stage and audience that particularly benefits cabaret and chamber plays. Since 2002, the venue has hosted the Schwechat Satire Festival every year, providing a stage for programmes such as Michael Bauer's "10 Meter Turm" or the LästerLieder. The bistro opens one hour before the performance begins, where you can gather for a drink before the show, during the interval, and afterwards. Access is barrier-free, and wheelchair spaces are available.
