It is the seven hundred and sixty million, eight hundred and thirty-nine thousandth anniversary of the creation of the world, but there is not exactly a celebratory mood in heaven. God no longer wants to know anything about people since there has been strife on earth and only “honor, glory and nation” are being shouted about. Peter and his angels receive an advertisement in the newspaper looking for a new, dear God for the world – preferably with immediate effect. He should be wise, just, omniscient and omnipotent and have a sovereign demeanor (“but not a leader type, please!”). This is why Peter, disguised as God, and two of his angels are sent to Earth, where a colorful game of mistaken identity soon unfolds.

“Before the outbreak of the next world war” – this is Maria Lazar’s title for the time of the stage action and her almost 100-year-old play strikes at the heart of the current political situation. Against the backdrop of an impending war, heaven, the devil and men haggle over strategies and means to avert it. Playwright Lazar skillfully packs the politically explosive topic into the social panorama of a bitterly wicked comedy.

After “Der Nebel von Dybern” last season, we are continuing our exploration of Maria Lazar with “Die Hölle auf Erden”. As part of our canon expansion program, we are presenting another forgotten play by the successfully rediscovered Austrian playwright in the form of her comedy.
