In diesem Buch wirft der scheidende Generalintendant einen Blick zurück auf die vergangenen 13 Jahre des Theaters in der Spitzenstadt Plauen und der Automobilstadt Zwickau, auf eine Zeit voller rasanter gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche. Vor gut 20 Jahren fusionierten die Theater der Städte Plauen und Zwickau, mehr als die Hälfte dieser Zeit leitete der Schauspieler und Regisseur Roland May die Geschicke des neu entstandenen gemeinsamen Theaters. Das vorliegende Buch resümiert die künstlerische Entwicklung des Stadttheaters und dessen kulturelle Bedeutung für die Region im Kontext erster politischer und gesellschaftlicher Krisen des 21.
