Director and leading actor Ringsgwandl throws his metal scepter across the room, narrowly missing the head of actress Christa Berndl, who then leaves the production. After three weeks, the theater production “Ludwig II – the full truth” failed – actually. New attempt with a condensed version – and the powerful actor Jörg Hube. Ringsgwandl, bleary-eyed, reacts to the actors. What infuriated Hube so much “that he hurled abuse at the bungling director, stormed out of the hall with a yell and slammed the steel doors shut so hard that the plaster trickled off the walls.” Attempt at conciliation Ringsgwandl. “Hope: I’m not rehearsing anything today until I get a decent snack.” The assistant director has to get veal sausages and pretzels. In the end, of course, it turns out well: “The premiere banged like fireworks”.
