Juli Zeh's play meets an attentive audience in Unterschleißheim
With Good Morning, Boys and Girls, the Forum Unterschleißheim presents a literary experience that directs attention to a disturbing world of thoughts while simultaneously harnessing the power of the stage. The play by Juli Zeh approaches the topic of school shootings from an unsettlingly personal perspective and brings the question of causes, perception, and media impact to the forefront.

Between reality and fantasy
At the center is Jens, known as Cold, who has already played out his planned shooting spree in detail in his imagination. The staging combines reality and fiction into a tight drama that does not rely on effects but on linguistic precision and psychological tension. Thus, a reading atmosphere is created in a broader sense: concentrated, disturbing, and immediate.

Literary quality with societal impact
Juli Zeh is one of the most important voices in contemporary German literature. Her work has received numerous awards; among others, the Rauriser Literature Prize, the Thomas Mann Prize, and the Federal Cross of Merit are mentioned on her official author page. This authority also lends weight to the play, which deals with violence, public perception, and internal radicalization. ([julizeh.de](https://www.julizeh.de/author.php))
