Cut-rate undertaker Marc Maló succesfully runs a low-end funeral home and calls himself the "Angel of the Poor." Because he sells cheap funerals combined with short trips to the Swiss Alps where the impoverished bereaved can scatter the ashes, he sees himself as the personification of charity. But while his business booms, rumors begin to circulate that begin to damage his reputation: every time Maló and his wife show up at a celebration, somebody dies, so people begin to avoid his company and call him the "Angel of Death." Despite all of this, Maló's Swiss business partner invites him and his employees to her home. Who will die next?

Come enjoy this witty and insightful new comedy that has garnered accolades in Austria. Masterfully translated by Damion Searls, and performed by the most nationally and ethnically diverse cast ever seen in an Austrian play!

Directed by award-winning German director Andreas Robertz
