How are the destinies of people interconnected? What lines exist that lead from the past through the present into the future? What influence does what may come have on what is currently happening? Questions like these are explored by the British author in "Everything as it Should Be," a commissioned work for the Schauspiel Essen. She has linked ten stories from different times into a family drama spanning several generations, which will be premiered by Adrian Figueroa with members of the Essen ensemble and amateurs.
