CURRENT PROJECTS


Dialogue is currently working on several projects, including the British premiere of a new Lutz Huebner play, Bluetentraeume.

Award-winning Huebner is Germany's most performed contemporary playwright. His work has been translated into over 10 languages and has been staged around the world.

In his latest play, Huebner has his finger right on the pulse: recent demographic changes have turned 'silver haired citizens' into a force to be reckoned with. But how can they retain their freedom and make independent choices post career and family life? How can they create new beginnings as opposed to waiting for the end? How can they be seen as individuals rather than 'wrinklies' - and where and how can they find love in their retirement years?

Seven pensioners, all widowed or divorced, sign up for a course in how to flirt and find a partner using the internet and speed-dating. Despite high hopes and best intentions, exposure to the latest coaching techniques and preparing for the modern love market are not quite what they bargained for. Rebellion brings the course to a premature end...

A hilariously funny, poignant and deeply humane play about the complexities and challenges of growing old in today's society, about young dreams in ageing bodies - and our life-long quest for love.


"Huebner creates strong, complex characters in this true to life comedy around a very serious issue. Poignant moments and dry humour are beautifully balanced in a compelling narrative that keeps you hooked all the way. A moving exploration of clashing generations and fragile aspirations in an increasingly 'young old age. " - Frankfurter Rundschau

"Finally a play about getting older - realistic, painfully honest, full of humour and heart. A wonderful piece of theatre that is enlightening, timely and deeply moving." - Ruhr Nachrichten

"A little theatre miracle, created by Lutz Huebner, conjuring up deep truths about ageing today." - Koelnische Rundschau
