Christoph Kramer’s Debut Heads to the Stage in Düsseldorf as Film Adaptation Advances

The former Germany international plans a hands-on advisory role for the adaptations, signaling momentum with a second book underway.

Overview

  • The Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus will premiere the stage version of “Das Leben fing im Sommer an” on Friday, with Kramer planning to attend.
  • Rehearsals have already included Kramer’s visits, and he describes the adaptation as very close to his book.
  • The production is set for the theater’s smaller stage with seating for about 300 people.
  • A cinema adaptation is in development, with Kramer offering advice and support rather than directing creative decisions.
  • He confirms he is writing a second novel and says expectations do not intimidate him given his experience handling pressure in football.
