Everything was already there. Even the New York fund manager Bernard Madoff has an illustrious predecessor. “Die Spitzeder” opens today, sold out, at the Engelbrot Theatre in Martin Sperrs homonymous comedy, once again her kitchen. (…) In the sparkling staging by Elena Vannoni we see the rise and fall of the shimmering empire of Adele Spitzeder in a realistic folk comedy. During the play we can hear some humorous and meaningful songs written by Ludo Vici. Ironic comments and witty wordplays, about the greed of the ordinary people. (…) The red light district is reflected in the elaborate costumes, colorful and dazzling, realized by the versatile director and costume designer Elena Vannoni.
