Bremen Town
September 30 – October 26, 2025
After forty-five years of hard work and dedication, Frau Esel, the longest serving housekeeper of Völksenhaus, has been fired and sent out to pasture. In a rage, she sets out on a winding journey to Bremen to live with her estranged son.
Gregory Prest brings Bremen Town, a rural folk tragicomedy, to Tarragon Theatre.
Featuring Nancy Palk as Frau Esel, Oliver Dennis, William Webster, Sheila McCarthy, and an exceptional ensemble cast, Bremen Town brings music and storytelling together in this award-winning production!
Bremen Town runs approximately 90 minutes without intermission.
