The group cordially invites you to their next play "Annapurna," with performances on the 16th, 17th and 19th of May at 7pm. Staying true to their origins, The Solitary Company only performs in English in the „living room“-atmosphere of the café & bar Zuhause. Reserve your tickets now under: http://www.thesolitarycompany.de/en_home.html The play - "Annapurna" by Sharr White : Ever since they left, Emma desperately tries to keep her ex-husband Ulysses out of her and their son’s lives. Now, after their son discovered a long hidden secret, Emma must reluctantly track Ulysses down. Ulysses, a brilliant but resigned poet who gave up on life long ago, reels from Emma’s surprising return.
