Executioner-Tour 
An exciting-amusing parody of the middle-age
I play act an executioner, a "dishonest" man.
He
describes how he became one, his work and his ongoing unsuccessful try
to find a woman, who would marry him. The friendly executioner sells
magic amulets and potions, is fearful about witchcraft, devilwork and
living dead people.
The tour to the enchanted locations of Rothenburg does not need
darkness, because in former days people were superstitious also during
daylight.
The executioner explains you why ...
- ... he, the nightwatchman, grave-digger and the miller are "dishonest".
- ... he is a healer and has the privileg to cut fat from the body of the executed convict.
- ... there are magic plants growing under the gallow; the mandrake cries out, if dug up.
- The background of the "executioner-meal" and "happy executions". The the fear of "damned" executions and returning souls as "Poltergeist" or living dead people; "Headless Horseman", vampires.
- The fight against witches and the devil. What happens in their witch-dance at the "witch-mountain" in the "witch-night"?
