A turbulent family piece full of wit, heart, and hidden secrets

With Gangsta-Grandma, the Theater der Stadt Aalen presents a cheeky, warm-hearted, and fast-paced stage adaptation of David Walliams. The family piece for people from six years old promises an afternoon of giggles, wonder, and genuine theater atmosphere on November 15, 2026, at KulturBahnhof Aalen.

When boredom turns into an adventure

At the center is Benny, who initially thinks her grandma is the most boring person in the world. However, behind the smell of cabbage, Scrabble, and gray perm lies a life full of secrets. The story suddenly tilts from the mundane to the glamorous, from family routine to a breathtaking mission, and this is where the charm of the piece unfolds: as a lively mixture of children's book magic, comedy, and real stage experience.

Direction with pace, warmth, and a sense of timing

The staging by Julius Max Ferstl relies on clear character guidance and a lively performance that takes children seriously and engages adults. The ensemble featuring Theresa Fassbender, Julian Mantaj, Valeria Prautsch, and Alice Katharina Schmidt brings rhythm, energy, and subtle undertones to the material. Dance, set design, and dramaturgy resonate with each other and let the fantasy of the original shine on stage.

A family piece with British wit and great theatrical imagination

David Walliams is known for his pointed, absurdly loving children’s stories. Gangsta-Grandma carries exactly this tone: quirky, tender, adventurous. The Aalen production uses this source material for a theatrical narrative where laughter always retains an emotional core. This is what makes it appealing: prejudices dissolve, grandparents become heroines, and from the seemingly mundane grows a great adventure.

KulturBahnhof as a vibrant venue

KulturBahnhof Aalen offers a suitable framework for this theater experience. The hall is barrier-free, with an elevator, accessible restrooms, and a cloakroom in the building. For arrival, there are parking spaces nearby at KUBAA as well as a parking garage at the main train station available. This makes the theater visit easy to plan and keeps the focus on what matters: the evening in the grip of a captivating story.

What the audience can expect

Gangsta-Grandma combines family entertainment with a lovingly sharpened look at closeness, courage, and imagination. Those seeking poetic children's theater with pace, humor, and a good sense of stage, light, and performance will experience a premiere evening full of excitement. Definitely see it live and dive into this wonderfully clever story with the whole family.
