Content
"Niggel and the Red Shadow" transfers you into the busy world of
the chicken, which is organised through strict rules and laws.
Failure to comply will result in the punishment of the chicken by the
Red Shadow. One possibility to escape the appaling Red Shadow
is "to protect one, who is not a chicken". According to that Niggel, a
young rabbit lives as a fosterling on a chicken run.
When the run is attacked and almost cleared, Niggel decides to search
for the Red Shadow and to affranchise his "family".
After some loop ways and surprises a meeting of the protagonists with
the Red Shadow on a clearing seems inescapeable.
But this meeting takes an unexpected turn ...

As actors and musicians are not punished for their mistakes it is hardly surprising that mistakes happen from time to time.
This version of the musical shows everything that was not quite written in the textbook.
