Lyrics
Marcel Miska Patric Scott Tobias Gerisch (German translation)
Max, in his mid-twenties, lives with his mother and brother just outside London. Once a month, on what he calls Atonement Saturday, he breaks free from his conventional life and heads to London’s trendy Whipster gay club, where he can finally be himself. His devoutly Catholic mother knows nothing about this side of his life; only his best friend Joel, a trans* man, is in on the secret. Max’s long-term lover Alexis keeps pushing him to introduce him to his family, but Max repeatedly puts it off. Then, one night, Max is attacked and rescued by a stranger. His name is Tristan. He is from Malta, a perfect gentleman, strikingly handsome, and soon begins to dominate Max, who finds himself increasingly drawn under his spell. Max leaves Alexis, while Joel fears losing his best friend but is unable to stop Max from drifting further away. During a holiday in Valletta, Malta, Max uncovers what may be a dark secret from Tristan’s past, setting off a dangerous game of love, sex and murder – with several unexpected twists.

Tobias Gerisch
Lyrics – German Translation
After graduating from secondary school, the Vogtland native initially studied to become a teacher of English and Latin in Dresden. While there, he also studied with Cornelia Drese and gained his first professional stage experience in CATCH ME IF YOU CAN at the Staatsoperette Dresden.
After completing his degree, he began studying musical theatre at the Institute of Music Osnabrück in 2021, with voice training under Prof. Noelle Turner. As part of his studies, he has already played the title role in Molière’s TARTUFFE and appeared in the university productions SWEENEY TODD and SOHO CINDERELLA*. For the latter, he revised the lyrics for the German-language premiere at the Schlossfestspiele Ettlingen, where he also joined the cast. In addition, he works as a vocal coach, dubbing actor and singer, and, since 2023, as a translator for the publishing house MUSIK UND BÜHNE.
Most recently, he appeared as Jim Farrell in TITANIC at Theater Osnabrück and in PETER PAN at Staatstheater Kassel. In the final production of his musical theatre studies, he played the Duchess in the German premiere of ALICE BY HEART.
