Jesus liebt mich

In the organizer's words:

On December 4 at 7:30 pm, the play "Jesus loves me" awaits you at the Ruhrfestspielhaus.

Marie has many talents. Her greatest: always choosing the wrong man. She can only get rid of her last bad choice, Sven, at the altar - with a loud "No!". So there can be no talk of true love and Marie moves back under her father's roof (again). But there are plenty of problems waiting for her there: Dad's quirks, his very young, not too bright girlfriend - and a broken roof.

A carpenter is needed, and he is quickly found: Joshua. Joshua. He is a man straight out of a picture book - strong, sensitive and stunningly handsome. Marie is smitten. It's just a shame that Joshua is a bit ... strange. He sings psalms, talks about ancient times and claims he was there back then. On their first date, he shares bread, turns water into wine - and then it becomes clear: Joshua is Jesus. Back again. Hallelujah!

However, this also means that God has finally had enough of humanity and the Last Judgement is imminent. When Satan's power also takes possession of Marie's sister Kata, the chaos is perfect. Now Marie must try to convince Jesus that perhaps people are not completely hopeless after all and that the apocalypse can wait.

Anyone who has read David Safier's novels knows what the audience can expect from this visit to the theater: a hopelessly romantic, idealistic comedy and great, quirky fun.
