Murder in the greenhouse
Press: Zürichsee-Zeitung, 20th November 2015
Excitement and pleasure at the greenhouse
With the sponsorship of the cultural commission of Oberrieden, actress and producer Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz, performed three sold-out performances of the play "Murder in the Greenhouse" last weekend. The enthusiastic audience enjoyed a world of poetry and language-acrobatics, accompanied by a virtuoso violin and piano performance of traditional and classical music. While the audience witnessed four murders – caused by poisonous everyday plants – they enjoyed a meal, with each course designed to “accompany” the various acts...
All told Jacqueline Fritschi Cornaz who produced, wrote and performed the play with musical collaboration from Leo Rusterholz, delivered a gruesomely beautiful and expertly staged event. The audience experience was only enhanced by the unique atmosphere of the Eichenberger Greenhouse and Nursery.
Coco Chanel welcomes world-famous personalities from the worlds of art and politics to her villa ‘Respiro’, where she passionately creates a revolutionary fashion that is still unmistakable today. As a patron, she financed Igor Stravinsky's adaptation of ‘Sacré du Printemps’ and was friends with Dali, Picasso, Modigliani and many other bohemians. She collaborates with the Nazis, is arrested and is only released thanks to her friendship with Winston Churchill. She only drinks champagne in two situations: when she is in love and when she is not! This entertaining and inspiring one-woman play, lasting about an hour, combined with a small exhibition and a champagne aperitif, invites the audience to feel for a moment like a guest in one of Coco Chanel's most famous villas.
This attractive, varied programme is also ideal for company/customer events
