"Das Theater an der Effingerstrasse" ist situated on a busy street in Bern, sandwiched between a pizzeria and a hairdresser. It's the kind of theatre you won't find easily today: commited to old fashioned emotional story telling and mainly reliant on their actual revenues. Public founding was withdrawn a long time ago. "Effi-Hasi" portrays three productions: Gilles Tschudi fights the publishers ban of his play and for the inspiration of his main actor. Uwe Schönbeck, a former tenor at the opera, is struggeling with his health and learning the contrabass.
