Washington: Good news Potter-heads!
‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ will premiere in Germany in 2020, marking the first non-English-language production of the hit play.
Known as ‘Harry Potter und das Verwunschene Kind’, the much-awaited thriller will open in Hamburg at the Mehr! Theater am Gossmarkt, reported Variety.
The venue will be redesigned from May 2019 and the play will premiere the following spring.
‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ is a two-part stage play written by Jack Thorne based on an original new story by Thorne, J. K. Rowling and John Tiffany.
The story begins nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows Harry Potter, now a Ministry of Magic employee, and his younger son Albus Severus Potter, who is about to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The stage production has won numerous Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best Play, Best Actor, and Best Director. It has also won Best Play among six wins at the 2018 Tony Awards.
