Erinnerungen eines legendären Theatermachers. Erstmals erzählt Tom Pauls von dem Moment, der ihn für die Bühne begeisterte, von Selbstzweifeln während seines Schauspielstudiums, den Widersprüchen vor 1989 sowie dem Neuanfang nach 1990. Noch nie sprach er so persönlich von den Höhen und Tiefen seiner Karriere, über die Rolle des Theaters in der DDR, die Ostalgie sowie gegenwärtige Katastrophen wie Elbe-Hochwasser und Corona-Pandemie. Ohne Herausforderungen ging es bei ihm nie. Aber mit Possen bringt er unverdrossen sein Publikum zum Lachen und macht immer weiter Theater.
