A disturbingly intense theater evening in the Oval Office

The Yellow Wallpaper brings Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic as a dense, atmospheric theater experience to Bochum. On June 18, 2026 at 8:00 PM, the Oval Office in Schauspielhaus Bochum will open the space for a play about isolation, control, and the power of one's own perception.

Between room, wall, and inner revolt

The story takes place in a secluded house in the countryside, in a room with barred windows and in an oppressive order of care and patronization. From this apparent retreat, a psychologically charged evening grows, binding the audience's mood closely to the character and making every movement in the room palpable.

Feminist material with strong stage impact

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's narrative from 1892 is considered an early feminist classic. The Bochum production focuses on imagination, power dynamics, and the question of how closely the boundaries between healing and control run. Particularly in the Oval Office, this creates a compact event experience that feels close, immediate, and intense.

A new perspective on Leonie Mevissen

With this production, Leonie Mevissen introduces herself for the first time as a director to the Bochum audience. The theatre's advance coverage emphasizes the focus on the eerie study of imagination as a survival strategy, care, and power. This promises careful event planning with a clear focus on text, atmosphere, and precise targeting of theater fans.

Location, access, and theater visit

An eager audience meets in the Schauspielhaus Bochum, located in a central downtown area with good connections. The venue is situated on Königsallee, accessible by public transportation with a stop at Schauspielhaus as well as via the parking garage P9. The evening is aimed at visitors who appreciate modern spoken theater, intense scenes, and a clear dramatic signature.

Conclusion

The Yellow Wallpaper promises a concentrated theater evening full of suspense, psychological depth, and visual impact. Anyone looking for strong material, concentrated acting art, and an intense event experience should experience this date live.
