Der kleine Störtebeker Theatre

“The Little Störtebeker”

A musical piratical expedition by Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth

Hooray: Störtebeker is docking in Hamburg again after more than 600 years – at the Schmidt Theater on the Reeperbahn! The pirate Klaus Störtebeker, who robbed the rich, helped the poor, and ultimately paid with his life, is a legend in northern Germany. But how does one become one? What kind of boy must he have been, who would do everything he could to become a pirate? And in the dark Middle Ages, no less? Seven actors in numerous roles energetically tell the fantastic backstory of the boy who would one day become Störtebeker – a boy searching for a home, a name, and himself.

The children's musical at Schmidt's is exciting, touching, and, of course, very, very funny. A full-throttle theatrical spectacle featuring brave girls, talking rats, and not-so-evil pirates, with silly puns, a disease whose name must not be spoken, and, of course, a mysterious treasure that turns out to be a real pirate's blessing!

This adventure will captivate everyone who is, has, or was once a child. The experienced Schmidt creative team creates a true declaration of love for the imagination, with great music that immediately catches your ear and touches your heart. So, all aboard and off we go for the great pirate voyage!
