Bernhard Bötel

Dramatic life of Gustav "Bubi" Scholz, who rose from post-war obscurity and a background in black market dealings to become a celebrated European boxing champion in the late 1940s. Charismatic and widely admired, he quickly became a national icon. But as the spotlight fades and his victories grow distant, Scholz’s personal life begins to unravel, leading him into a downward spiral of addiction and emotional turmoil.

Two noble women, bored of their lives, disguise themselves as country wenches and go to the market at Richmond Fair, where two young farmers fall in love with them.

A silent musical number.
