Edition 2025 — Burgspiel Hilpoltstein
In 2025, the Hilpoltsteiner Burgspieler performed the comedy "Die Panne" (The Breakdown) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt on the open-air stage in the Hilpoltstein Castle Ruins. The performances were scheduled for July and early August weekends, starting at 8:30 PM each evening. The ensemble celebrated a successful festival year; following an appeal for participation, the number of active Burgspieler tripled.
Review of 2025
In 2025, the Hilpoltsteiner Burgspieler staged Friedrich Dürrenmatt's comedy "Die Panne" in the castle ruins. The story of the travelling salesman Alfredo Trap, who ends up in the house of retired jurists during a car breakdown and gets caught in a macabre court game, found a atmospherically fitting venue in the castle ruins.
Ensemble Boom
Following an appeal from the town of Hilpoltstein for participation, the number of active Burgspieler tripled – a good sign for the future of open-air theatre. Most performances were sold out.
