"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT e.V. | Führe Regie über dein Leben theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven" („Zuflucht“). See for yourself.

Meet the cast of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations! 🎩 We asked Alex Brandel some questions about the show: Tell us a little bit about your characters. I play Mr. Wopsle, Compeyson, and Herbert Pocket. Mr. Wopsle is an over-articulating church clerk who is very proud and cannot help himself from interjecting an “Amen” into any conversation. Compeyson is a true villain to his core which makes him just a blast to bring to life, to the dismay of the other characters. Last but certainly not least is Herbert Pocket, who is a true best friend to Pip and always has Pip’s best interests at heart. What are some of the unique challenges that you've encountered during rehearsals? When playing more than one role in a play, especially those that contrast each other so much, it’s important to make sure that they can clearly be told apart. The way Mr. Wopsle walks and talks is much different than how Herbert and Compeyson do and vice versa. Drilling down to who each of these three characters are and how they interact with the world has been an interesting and rewarding challenge to overcome. Great Expectations is one of Charles Dickens' most enduring stories, adapted many times in a variety of media. What remains timeless about this classic coming-of-age tale? The comedy! Going into Great Expectations I really knew nothing about this show or the original book it’s based on. There are so many jokes and bits that happen so naturally throughout this play and it’s amazing how easy it is to find them and how well they still land today more than 150 years later. What's something an audience member should know before they see this play? The classics are classics for a reason, and this is one of them. Great Expectations could take place in any time period and still be just as relatable as it was when it was originally written. This is a story of chance encounters, how our reactions to those encounters shape us as people, and learning what we actually want in life, instead of what we expected to. Charles Dickens' Great Expectations runs November 1st-10th at the New Hazlett Theater.

My latest episode of The Play Podcast.

This is a fascinating discussion about a powerful approach to problem solving.
