Years of Love – Play based on the award-winning TV film

Liebesjahre – Play based on the award-winning television film Ten years after their separation, Vera and Uli meet once again in the house where they spent their life together and raised their daughters. Vera wants to draw a line under it and sell the house. Furnished, almost exactly as it is. In fact, they only want to take a few personal belongings with them. But Uli arrives with a van — and with his new partner Johanna. Vera’s partner Darius also turns up. He has secretly followed her. What begins as a final walk through the house becomes a late encounter with everything that remains unresolved. Every drawer, every piece of furniture, every photograph opens up something that had long been locked away: what Vera and Uli never said, what they expected of each other, what they lacked, what they never understood. And with every object they take into their hands, it becomes clearer how they could lose each other without noticing in time. Liebesjahre is based on the television film awarded the Grimme Prize and the Golden Camera. As an intense drama, the stage adaptation tells the story of the pitfalls of a life partnership. In mercilessly candid dialogues, it reveals how quietly two people can lose each other in everyday life – and how much clarity emerges when they begin to really listen to each other again. Anyone who would like to get to know Liebesjahre up close before the premiere can watch the ensemble at work during rehearsals: the rehearsal workshop on 19.09.2026 offers an exclusive insight into the making of the production — and opens up a special view of the characters, dialogues and the questions that preoccupy this evening at the theatre.
