Hans im Glück

'HANS IM GLÜCK' is a classroom piece for ages 8 and up from the Junge Schauspielhaus. It was written and directed by Till Wiebel, who turned the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm into a commissioned one-man show for the Schauspielhaus Zürich. On stage, Jakob Leo Stark plays Hans, who quits his job as an actor after seven years and sets off with a lump of gold almost too heavy to carry to seek his fortune. On one last tour through classrooms he tells of adventures, shady encounters and moments of pure happiness, losing possessions while coming closer to his own idea of happiness.
