StageTales – Where Heroes Stumble

and Stories Come to Life

Sit by the fire. Let me tell you a story.

Some take place in the Middle Ages. Some in the 1950s. Some in a future that has not yet arrived.

But all of them are about people who love, argue, laugh, fail, and sometimes discover they are capable of more than they ever imagined.

I'm glad you're here.

Ideal for theatre groups who perform with passion and want to make their audiences laugh, wonder, and leave with something to think about.

Here you will find ready-to-perform scripts available for immediate production.

Carol the Steward and his daughters

 Carol the steward has a problem. Or rather, six problems.

Six unmarried daughters and taxes that are growing faster than his purse can handle. The solution seems simple enough: marry off the daughters and save the family fortunes. But finding suitable husbands turns out to be far more complicated than anyone expected.

Carol and His Daughters is medieval comedy at its finest:
Fast-paced, cheeky, delightfully chaotic, packed with running gags, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of opportunities for actors to steal the spotlight.

Perfect for ensembles who love comedy, energy, and a healthy dose of theatrical mayhem.

Elvis and the false hare

Elvis is coming to town!

A telegram arrives at the village inn, The False Hare, and suddenly everyone is convinced that the King himself is about to pay them a visit.

The result? A hairstyle arms race, romantic chaos, village gossip reaching critical levels, and two American Military Police officers who have absolutely no patience for the excitement.

A fast-paced comedy packed with misunderstandings, mayhem, rock ’n’ roll spirit, and a finale nobody sees coming.

Like Me

Likes, followers, filters – at Florian Geyer High School, there is only one thing that matters: being online!

But when a group of aspiring influencers is invited to a secret content competition at a remote mountain cabin, they suddenly find themselves trapped in every smartphone generation’s worst nightmare:

No Wi-Fi. No electricity. No signal.

What follows is a wonderfully chaotic offline adventure filled with arguments, laughter, unexpected friendships, and a few surprising discoveries along the way.

A modern comedy about social media, fake appearances, and the difference between online followers and real friends.

Wellness to go

How much chaos can a wellness weekend handle?

Melitta and her decidedly anti-wellness husband, Normann, have checked into a spa hotel hoping for a relaxing getaway. But between beauty treatments, romantic plans, and elegant dinners, they find themselves caught up in jealousy, flirtation, misunderstandings, and encounters nobody was hoping for.

Don’t miss this delightfully unrelaxing comedy, where the stress levels rise much faster than the relaxation does.

What happened on the wedding night?

Two former best friends, a coffin, and a wedding night.

And then there’s the undertaker, who knows far more than she is willing to admit.

How could any of that possibly fit together?

With fast-paced comedy and a cascade of misunderstandings, this play races through themes of friendship, death, village gossip, wounded pride, and imaginary illnesses. One mishap triggers the next like a row of falling dominoes.

Nothing happens without consequences—and no matter how bad things get, they can always get worse!

A wonderfully chaotic comedy where every attempt to fix a problem only creates three new ones.
