Stage for the Nestroyspiele, 2007–2012 outside the courtyard

The Liechtenstein Nestroy Games were theater performances as part of the Lower Austria Theater Festival at Liechtenstein Castle in Maria Enzersdorf .

The Nestroy Games were founded by Elfriede Ott and Hans Weigel in 1983. They took place every year in the summer months until 2012. Only plays by Johann Nestroy were performed. Elfriede Ott was also on stage every year and directed there. Since 2001, Otts adopted son Goran David was co-director and production manager.

Until 2006 the stage and auditorium were located in the castle courtyard. After damage to the roof of Liechtenstein Castle occurred, one had to move outside the castle walls. In bad weather, the events took place in the Maria Enzersdorf elementary school. After plans for another location had failed and another plot of land had not yet been properly zoned, it is still uncertain whether the festival will be held.

The following pieces by Nestroy were performed:
