Gotcha! It’s such a blast when you manage to prank someone. Children sometimes come up with the most adventurous ideas, but adults also like to join in the fun. So it’s no wonder that the funniest stories are often those where tricks are played on someone. Children’s books are full of fibbing, teasing, pranking and tricking, leaving the grown-ups utterly baffled! On stage with “Die Maus”, two well-known television presenters, André Gatzke and Nina Heuser, have made lots of children laugh. Now they bring a colorful collection of pranks from children’s literature. From Little Nick to Pumuckl, Emil of Lönneberga to Matilda, André and Nina read fun and exciting stories, talk about their own childhood antics and share good strategies for successful pranks with the audience. An afternoon with a bit of gleeful mischief and lots of fun.
