This is the love story about two professional football players, a walk in the woods and a happy ending.
"The World Cup is over, but the best match has just kicked off" (Karin Yesilada, Nachtkritik). Two professional footballers from Real Madrid unexpectedly meet in the forest and discover that, although they play for the same club, they have never truly met - one a midfielder, the other a striker. What follows is a polite, charming conversation with a happy ending.
"The text’s distinctive elegance shines in Oberhausen. What we see is the successful premiere of a complex, intellectually rich, and linguistically sensitive play, performed by an entirely convincing ensemble," writes Detlev Baur in Die Deutsche Bühne.
