Hard on Hard in Neu-Ulm: Satirical Play with a Sharp Eye

Satirical Play with a Sharp Eye and Clear Tone

On Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Edwin Scharff Museum in Neu-Ulm, linguistic precision meets satirical combativeness: Hard on Hard: “They Say Stop!” promises an evening that combines political theater, pointed dialogues, and fine acting into a concentrated stage experience. The German-Swiss duo Elisabeth Hart and Rhaban Straumann brings their third tour program to the stage with a mix of wit, pace, and attitude that has attracted audiences for years.

Powerful Words that Echo in the Hall

The announcement of the evening makes the direction clear: sharp dialogues, gripping scenes, and a large dose of humor hit straight to the heart. This is precisely where the production draws its tension. The piece works with density instead of excess, with satirical pressure instead of decorative distraction. Those who love elevated spoken theater will experience a form here where direction, dramaturgy, and acting are closely intertwined.

Hard on Hard: a Duo with a Distinct Signature

Hard on Hard describes itself as the finest satirical play. Since 2024, Elisabeth Hart and Rhaban Straumann have premiered with They Say Stop; the program complements their earlier works like Do You Want to Rock? and Until When is Breakfast?. This continuity shows a clear artistic line: linguistically precise, socially awake, with a sense of pace, rhythm, and the surprising moment.
