The Hamburg Players’ improv group will be part of Theaternacht Hamburg, together with the other three groups performing at Theater an der Marschnerstraße.
The evening’s running order (Ensemble Theater an der Marschnerstraße, Volksspielbühne Thalia, Deutsche Schauspielvereinigung, The Hamburg Players) will be repeated over the course of the evening until roughly 11pm.
The improvisers are probably on at
about 8pm
and
about 9.40pm.
No set, no props – not even a script. That’s what improv theatre is like. Relying solely on their presence of mind and on the audience's suggestions, the Hamburg Players' improv team creates entertaining short scenes on the spot (in English).
Tickets for Theaternacht are available here. Theaternacht (Long Night of the Theatre) is the annual event launching the upcoming season, with 38 theatres (a recent record, by the way) participating throughout the city.
The Hamburg Players’ improv group exists independently of the three full-length theatre productions (all of them in English) brought to Marschnerstraße stage by the Hamburg Players each season.

Love, life, and some people’s eternal infatuation with… golf: Filled with over-the-top antics and romantic shenanigans, this madcap comedy pays homage to classic English farces as well as the Marx Brothers’ movies. Every year the Quail Valley Country Club takes on their rival, Crouching Squirrel, in a tournament – but this year, there is more at stake than just the trophy. Henry Bingham bets his life savings and his wife’s antique shop against his rival Dickie.
Luckily, he can rely on his new assistant Justin, a golf prodigy, to win the day. But when Justin finds out his fiancée Louise has accidentally flushed his grandmother’s wedding ring down the toilet, his game falls apart.
Will the frantic attempts to keep him focused save the day? Will Dickie keep the trophy? Or does Quail Valley have a secret weapon to outfox him?
