Karl May & Co.
June 19, 2026
The Karl May Games Bad Segeberg have presented the first scenes from the rarely performed play "In the Valley of Death".
For only the fourth time in the long history of the Karl May Games Bad Segeberg, the play about a mysterious mercury mine will be staged this year. Regular author Michael Stamp has implemented the play together with production manager Stefan Tietgen and director Nicolas König and presented the first scenes to many media representatives.
The most striking innovation: At the beginning, there is a small house in the middle of the arena, which turns out to be Pablo Hernandez's hacienda in the first scene. And since this house blocks the view of many visitors, it is "flattened" at the end of the scene, as Roulin actor Florian Fitz commands his subordinate Juanito Alfarez (Sascha Hödl). It bangs, it works four times and the house has become a rock.
The media representatives got to see the first five scenes from the play: robberies, celebrations in the Mexican village, a live singing interlude by Senorita Miaranda (Isabel Varell), the villain Roulin (Florian Fitz), who makes the chief Tokvi-kava (Joshy Peters) compliant with brandy, joint appearances by Winnetou (Alexander Klaws) and his blood brother Old Shatterhand (Bastian Semm), as well as the comedy trio Sir John Raffley (Heinrich Schafmeister), Don Fernando (Alexis Kara) and Sam Hawkens (Dirc Simpson). The latter had only stepped in for Volker Zack, who was ill, during the rehearsal phase.
Director Nicolas König was very satisfied with the course of the rehearsals in the conversation. Until the premiere on 27 June, the production will now continue to be fine-tuned until the starting signal for the 73rd season is given.
