Sams-Review

Sams-Revue, a foray into the Sams books by Paul Maar

Age group 6-10 years or family performance

Duration approx. 60 minutes


Directed by: Maike Jansen and Stefan Ferencz


In a series of scenes full of slapstick, wordplay and physical play, two playmakers take turns to lead the audience through episodes from various Sams books over 60 minutes, bringing stories and characters to life in an “imaginative fireworks display”.


The Sams – who doesn’t know it – cheeky and funny, it comes along with disrespectful rhymes and without hesitation questions everything and turns it on its head.

After meeting the Sams, the shy Mr. Taschenbier suddenly no longer allows himself to be bullied by Mrs. Rotkohl and finally even manages to take the fulfillment of his wishes into his own hands.

But Mr. Taschenbier is not the only one who experiences a change through the Sams....
