From July 2nd to 11th there will be a “Very British” Festival at the shopping mall of ‘Mülheim an der Ruhr‘, not far form the city limits of the city of Essen. The mall is called ‘Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum‘. There will be several events. I assume that most of them will take place on a stage, i.e.
There is a printed program which is also available as a PDF document here.
Tonight we have been to a show at the Kammerspiel Bochum, one of the three stages of the Schauspielshaus (theater) Bochum. We watched ‘A Tribute to Johnny Cash’. It’s a concert with little texts between the songs about Johnny Cash’s life. The songs are all in English but the texts and little play are in German. To follow the whole thing it’s better to know at least a little bit of the other language. I mean, if you are German native speaker you should understand what the songs are about or might have listend to some Cash songs and their lyrics. The other way around, being a native speaker of English you should understand a few words to understand what they are talking about and what connects the songs. Alternatively it might be helpful to know about Johnny Cash and his life before you go. Than you should also understand the little play.
We enjoyed the show very much. It was hard to get tickets even if the show is on the program again for a long time. Last year it was at the Zeltfestival Ruhr. This year I already have ticket for ‘A Tribute to Quentin Tarantion’. The concept of this show should be similar. For the tickets tonight, we only paid €8,80 per person, for Tarantion at Zeltfestival it was about €25,–. There are different ticket at different prices.
