An evening full of verbal art: Loos & Liefers interpret Nick Hornby in Hof

When two charismatic voices meet British wit, a reading atmosphere of rare intensity is created: Anna Loos and Jan Josef Liefers bring Nick Hornby's marital duet 'No one said you should move out' to the stage of Freiheitshalle Hof. A literary experience between humor and heart, performed with precision and read melodiously.

Word duet in the rhythm of emotions

At the center is Hornby's conversational novel about Tom and Louise, who take stock in the pub before every couple's therapy session. Witty dialogues, fine irony, human weaknesses - the two acting stars unfold the narrative with stage presence, timing, and verbal craftsmanship. The closeness to the audience and the encounter with the author merge into a vibrant literary theater.

Between pub, punchline, and pause

The staging uses minimal props for maximum effect: table, chairs, changing conversation islands – an intimate atmosphere grows, engaging both sight and hearing. Over more than two hours, including a short break, a flowing exchange of reading, play, and subtle comedy unfolds.

Hornby's literary quality - contextualized

Nick Hornby, multiple award-winner and Oscar-nominated screenwriter for 'An Education' and 'Brooklyn', dissects relationship realities with empathy and precision. The German edition is published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch; the stage rights are held by Rowohlt Theater Verlag. The work convinces as a conversation piece: accessible, clever, strong in dialogue.
