Schauspielhaus Linz

A cuddly course or a powerful boss?

It works without a boss too. At least that is the starting point for Lars von Trier's comedy "Der Boss vom Ganzen", which has now had its Austrian premiere at the Schauspielhaus Linz. Stephanie Mohr directs an entertaining play that highlights the absurdities of the business world with humor and timeless topicality.

Just how cowardly is Ravn? Ever since he founded an IT company, he has been pretending to his employees that he is just the boss's right-hand man. The real boss is always in faraway America. However, when the company is to be sold, everything gets a little out of hand - until Ravn hires the actor Kristoffer to play the real boss just to wind up the company.
