"Skibbie and the Barmbek Animals' Brave Plan" is a charity radio play project - spoken by 48 students and with celebrity support from Bjarne Mädel, Horst Hrubesch, Louisa Masciullo, Julia-Niharika Sen, Klaus Büchner, Stefan Lehmann and Samy Deluxe. North German Christopher Reit wrote the short story of Skibbie, the station mouse for his little cousin many years ago. During the Corona pandemic, he got the idea to make more of it. He looked for children and celebrities to help him record the story as a radio play. The special thing about the campaign: the audio book supports a good cause! All proceeds from the sale of the audio play CD and the online streams go entirely to the Hamburg children's aid projects "Kinderhospiz Sternenbrücke" and "Die Arche".
The 6 to 13 year old children from Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria are not professional actors, but normal children who could apply for the roles. More than 100 girls and boys had signed up via the specially created Skibbie website. The result is a colorful, captivating 120-minute radio play about Skibbie, who wants to free the orphan Hannah from the clutches of a governess and hatches a daring plan with his animal friends. It's about friendship, charity, cohesion and never losing hope.
The radio play is available now as a plastic-free digipack CD and on all digital streaming portals.
