History
Farces had long been performed in Schweinhütt's village inn before theatre enthusiasts from the village came into contact with Brigitte Prock, an author and director of open-air plays. Her first work for them, Der überlistete Tod, is based on a legend and historical sources about the innkeeper of Schweinhütt who outwits Death when the plague strikes the village in 1649 after the Thirty Years' War. Its premiere in 1993, led by Reinhold and Helmut Weiderer, drew more than 5,000 spectators, and the success led to the founding of the association Freilichtbühne Schweinhütt e. V.[1][2]
Repertoire
Besides Der überlistete Tod, which the association was performing again in 2019, its productions include Die Hex von Wittersitt.[3]
