Diplomats ' children play theatre in Bonn: ''Hansel and Gretel'' with the probably most international cast so far is played on stage each Sunday afternoon in the hall of the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-night-school in Bonn (Germany) until Christmas. Mainly children of the in Bonn living diplomats are the actors of Grimm's fairy-tale figures. The boys and girls from the whole world belong to the about 150 members of the ''Children theatre club Bonn'' with a connected international children's ballet which was founded this year. 56 year old Herbert Zumkley, fiscal officer of Bonn who likes children and theatre likewise, got the idea to create such a children's theatre club. His wish that the children don't only play theatre but also become friends has already been realised. In order to let play as many children as possible, Herber Zumkley has produced the play twice the ensembles take turn with each other every Sunday besides he lets also speak owls, ravens, mushrooms etc. 72 actors take part in each ''Hansel and Gretel'' play. Even though the club is financially weak, the ministars are paid with cake. Photo shows the 3 main actor Gretel (Daniele Klarner), Hansel (Frank Wirsching) and the witch (Ursula Hengstmann).
