His rise and fall

How Benko’s “Betongold” ended up at the Volkstheater

A sold-out play on the case of the fallen real estate juggler René Benko was performed at the Volkstheater on Saturday evening. The focus: the rise and fall of a politically hyped and now insolvent entrepreneur. The "Krone" was there for you.

The rise and fall of Mr. René Benko. The title says it all. Not only for various investigations, but now also for high culture. The fallen real estate and insolvency artist ended up at the Volkstheater. Saturday evening. So not in person. But as a play. Sold out. 90 minutes of discussion of one of the most special Austrian-German bankruptcy stories and economic thrillers. The focus was on the connection to politics, which made the rise of the school dropout from Tyrol possible in the first place.
