(German translation by James Edward Lyons)

Excitement, adventure, a love story and the mysterious Kong. Power mad film director Carl Denham, out of work film actress Ann Darrow and sceptical ship's captain Jack Driscoll set out on a journey to find the legendary Kong. Their battered tug boat takes them from New York to the dark and forbidding Skull Island, where they become entangled in a fight for love and, ultimately, survival ...

"It works splendidly ... To every fringe theatre in the republic; clamour to do not just this show but this very production. Your audiences will thank you" (musicals magazine, Germany)
