"Saturday the Thirteenth" is a turbulent crime comedy by Alexandra and Roman Frankl. The story takes place on a supposedly innocent Saturday, which turns out to be disastrous. The authors offer an entertaining mix of suspense and humor that captivates the audience from start to finish.

A gardener is stabbed to death with garden shears in a musician's house. The gardener's wife suspects the owner of the house, he in turn suspects his wife and she suspects her sister, who has come to visit. The situation comes to a head when the neighbor, Inspector Helmuth Nowak, who only wants to borrow a glass of milk, takes up the investigation. Everyone would have had a reason to kill the gardener, and everyone is a suspect. In the course of Nowak's investigation, the play takes some unexpected turns, but when not only the gardener's cousin but also - to fix the too-loud silent alarm - an employee of a security company unexpectedly turns up, everything spirals out of control. A crazy and turbulent crime comedy that remains exciting until the very last sentence.
