The Credit at kleines theater Landshut: Turbulent comedy with bite

A bank appointment becomes a witty comedy battle

When a loan falls through, a worldview detonates: In Jordi Galceran's successful play 'The Credit', two men collide in a small theater – KAMMERSPIELE Landshut and transform a sober office into an electrifying stage experience. A guest performance by the Schauspielbühnen in Stuttgart, sharply directed by Ute Willing, featuring Ralf Stech and Andreas Klaue.

Word duel with nerves of steel

A rejected application, an outrageous ultimatum: From a routine conversation unfolds a turbulent exchange about power, morality, and relationships. Galceran's dramaturgy raises the stakes scene by scene; the direction condenses the pace, focuses on precise acting and psychological nuances. The audience feels the theater atmosphere: tense silence, then liberating laughter when the next coup lands.

Precision of the staging

Ute Willing keeps the reins tight: clear character guidance, rhythmic dialogue flow, clever use of pauses. Two actors, one conflict, maximum friction – sparkling comedy and bittersweet truths emerge. The reduced setting draws attention to facial expressions, timing, and the musicality of language; light changes signify shifts in power, every detail is precise.

Set design, costume, acoustics

The factual office environment shimmers under dramaturgical pressure: sterile order meets emotional disorder. Subtle costumes reveal character traits, the acoustics carry every whisper, every punchline; a space where the slightest hesitation becomes a grand gesture.

Resonance and context

'The Credit' is an international crowd-pleaser and has been widely awarded. Press reviews highlight the entertaining 'applied psychology' and the 'cleverly crafted hare-and-hounds race' – a comedic chamber play that delightfully reverses role stereotypes.
