Marion Elskis

I have been a passionate actress for over 40 years and have played over 30 leading roles in the theater during this time, including Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and Irina in Three Sisters, for which I won the Boy Gobert Prize. Most recently, I played leading roles in Frau Müller muss weg (Lutz Hübner/Sarah Nemitz), Drei Mal Leben (Yasmina Reza), Ruhm (Daniel Kehlmann), Die Niere (Stefan Vögel), and Der Abschiedsbrief (Audrey Schebat). For several years, I have been touring Germany with “Der Prozess des Hans Litten” (The Trial of Hans Litten), with performances at the Dachau and Lichtenburg concentration camps, among other venues. I also produced the play. As an author, I wrote the play “Whiskey&Sugar” together with Heike Falkenberg, which has been successfully performed at many German theaters. On TV, I have appeared in “Jerks,” “Großstadtrevier,” and the Irish film “High Germany” alongside Liam Cunningham. I have also been working as a voice actress for over 40 years. Among other roles, I am the voice of Holly in “King of Queens” and Candice Renoir in the crime series of the same name. I can also be heard in countless radio plays for children and adults. As a musician, I was the bandleader of the band “Scarborough,” which had a few minor hits, and I was successful in the charts as a solo artist with the song “Herbst.” My last song was "Warum".
