Literature Live

“I have missed you. I miss you. I will miss you. And if you don't believe that, you're a long-eared owl and a donkey.” At a dinner party in 1922, the writer Virginia Woolf meets the author and celebrated aristocrat Vita Sackville-West.


It is the beginning of a consuming passion and a deep friendship that inspires the literary work of both; a connection that defies time, in which both women find and invent each other and explore love in their minds and hearts.

Jasna Fritzi Bauer and Luise Wolfram read this pas de deux of ink and paper brilliantly, bringing one of the great love stories of the 20th century to life and resurrecting two extraordinary women in the midst of their world and their time, entangled in small everyday things and great love.

“The letters between Vita and Virginia are masterpieces of longing.” Alison Bechdel, The Guardian

Luise Wolfram played her first movie role at the age of seven in “Engelchen” and at 15 in “Polizeiruf 110 - Wandas letzter Gang”. She was a member of the Schaubühne Berlin ensemble from 2010 to 2015, and Luise Wolfram shoots for film and television alongside her work as a stage actress. Her roles include the historical drama “Mathilda”, the second season of the successful series “Charité”, the internationally acclaimed series “Das Boot” on SKY and the German-Israeli cinema production “Kiss Me Kosher”. Since 2021, Luise Wolfram has been active as Commissioner Linda Selb alongside Jasna Fritzi Bauer in Tatort Bremen.


Jasna Fritzi Bauer, born in 1989, studied at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin. Until 2015, she was a permanent member of the ensemble at Vienna's Burgtheater and performed at the Volksbühne am Rosa Luxemburgplatz, among others. She has also appeared in numerous roles for film and TV, including in Scherbenpark (2012), for which she received the Max Ophüls Prize. She was awarded the Bavarian Film Prize for best young actress in About A Girl. She can currently be seen alongside Luise Wolfram as an investigator in Bremen's Tatort.
