No to Money Comedy Premiere at Theater Schloss Maßbach

Theater Schloss Maßbach will host the premiere of the contemporary comedy Nein zum Geld! (No to Money!) on April 10, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. The production, written by Flavia Coste, will be staged at the Intimes Theater in Maßbach.

The play is described as a contemporary comedy characterized by wit and a playful approach to performance. It utilizes humor and irony to explore the concept of the value of money within human life.

Plot and Themes

The narrative centers on Richard, a man who has unexpectedly won millions in the lottery. The windfall provides him with the means to fund extravagant luxuries, including high-end catering for large celebrations and expansive travel with his wife, Marie.

Beyond personal luxury, the winnings offer the potential for larger projects. Richard could collaborate with his friend and business partner, Stefan, to construct ecologically sustainable nursing homes on stilts without relying on state funding. He has the means to elevate his mother Rosi’s social standing to help her find a partner who meets her expectations.

Despite these opportunities, Richard chooses to reject the allure of the money, preferring to enjoy his life exactly as it is. This decision creates a central conflict, as the people around him do not find his refusal amusing and attempt to persuade him to change his mind through various means.

The production promises a progression from a clash of rational arguments to an emotional escalation as Richard remains stubborn in his refusal to use the lottery winnings.
