The legend of Verbrunstschneck

It is just a few minutes before the start of our show. The producer (also the presenter and the company's technician) is there, the set is ready, the costumes are in place and the sound system is on, but there are no actors warming up backstage! Is the team somewhere on the side of the road next to a broken-down minibus? Has there been a big row or a last-minute clash? Or have there never been any actors in this company? Fortunately the audience is enthusiastic and, thanks to them, the show will go on.
