Father Brown - The Live Radio Play - starring Antoine Monot, Wanja Mues, and Marvelin

Father Brown Live: Thrilling crime stories as a captivating live radio play

On tour with Wanja Mues, Antoine Monot, and beatboxer Marvelin

Two audience favorites and a cult figure: Antoine Monot (“Behringer and the Dead,” “A Case for Two”) and Wanja Mues (“A Case for Two”) will bring the live radio play “Father Brown” to the stage starting in fall 2025. They’ll be joined by Marvelin, one of the most sought-after beatboxers in the German-speaking world, who creates the entire soundscape live—from church bells to gusts of wind.
The audience can look forward to an exciting evening full of twists and turns, mystery fun, and unique sound design. To kick things off, two gripping cases will be staged:

o “The Blue Cross”—a cat-and-mouse game between Father Brown, master thief Flambeau, and a brilliant detective.
o “The Falling Brothers”—a dark family drama about guilt, pride, and a deadly secret.
“We wanted to bring Chesterton’s cases to life just as they are: thrilling mysteries that invite you to solve them along with the characters—modern, relatable, and with a sound that gets under your skin,” says Wanja
Mues.

Known from the long-running ZDF hit “Ein Fall für zwei,” which averages 4.5 million viewers, Monot and Mues are appearing live on stage for the first time here.
The cult character Father Brown was already made popular by Heinz Rühmann and Ottfried Fischer—now, with Monot, Mues, and Marvelin, he’s getting a modern, interactive reboot.
