Tatort Calw - So ein Theater!

This time, Tatort Calw takes us to the stage, the world's greatest stage. During an amateur theater performance, a version of Romeo & Juliet "translated" into Swabian, a shot is fired according to the script. But the bullet was not a blank. The result: undertaker and amateur actor Günther Jourdan lies dead on the stage. A new case for Calw detectives Jäger, Kraft, and Hoffmann, who now find themselves confronted with a multitude of quarrels, motives, and suspects within the theater troupe. Secret affairs, property disputes, pregnancies, and personal animosities. The theater people are like a prime-time soap opera on private television. However, when the alleged perpetrator is identified, there is a surprising twist.

Directed by Armin Schnürle, Tatort Calw - So ein Theater! leans on a strong ensemble — Stefan Lörcher, Cathrin Tham, Frieder Pfeiffer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2014.
