The West Ain’t What It Used to Be
Can Dolly Parton save America?
An evening of conversation, country & western music and Jell-o salad
A lot of folks are worried about the state of democracy in the United States. Is it teetering on the brink? Is a civil war looming? Are the tech billionaires supporting its downfall?
Thanksgiving in Berlin. Fred and his US-American wife Rhonda have invited guests from her motherland over for a turkey dinner. Inevitably, the conversation drifts from the American Dream, via Karl May and Western movies, to the topic of all topics: What is going on in the US? Strangely enough, Dolly Parton seems to be in the room, too. And a country & western band magically appears. The evening escalates...
In the fourth installment of its "Conversations with Cultural Icons" series, coproducing with ETB/IPAC The Waltraud Experience tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: Where are the United States headed? The right and the left stand in completely irreconcilable opposition; a stalemate has been reached.
Country music icon Dolly Parton is often looked to as a unifying figure; someone both the right and the left can agree on. Yet, a closer look reveals that Dolly prefers to stay out of it ... she sings, she cracks jokes, and she champions "positive thinking"... but politics? No thanks.

Ort der Veranstaltung
Zwei Bühnen, eine Sprache: Das in Berlin-Kreuzberg beheimatete English Theatre Berlin existiert seit 1990 und widmet sich seit 1993 spannenden Theaterproduktionen auf ausschließlich englischer Sprache. Seit 2006 trägt die Spielstätte ihren heutigen Namen. Das Theater präsentiert in regelmäßigen Abständen Gastspiele von internationalem Format. Die Stücke, die das Theater selbst produziert, sind überwiegend zeitgenössische Stücke. Auch den Arbeiten junger Autoren und Autorinnen bietet das Ensemble des Theaters regelmäßig eine Bühne, weshalb es auch im Bereich der Nachwuchsförderung eine wichtige Rolle einnimmt. Außerdem arbeitet das English Theatre Berlin regelmäßig mit dem Berliner Theater Tikwa, das sich auf die Arbeit mit Menschen mit Behinderung spezialisiert hat, zusammen. Natürlich hat das kulturbegeisterte Publikum auch aktuell die Möglichkeit, spannende Performances im English Theatre Berlin zu erleben. Jetzt Tickets sichern und live dabei sein.
