Austrian theater to stage 'Fritzl' show
VIENNA, Austria (AP) - An Austrian theater says it will stage a satiric soap opera centered around Josef Fritzl, a man who allegedly held his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered her seven children.

The 3raum-anatomietheater in Vienna says the show will be titled "Pension Fritzl"—German for "Fritzl's Bed and Breakfast." The theater says on its Web site the show will open Feb. 23.
The production's director is Hubsi Kramar, a well-known Austrian standup comedian who raised eyebrows when he tried to attend Vienna's Opera Ball dressed as Adolf Hitler.
Fritzl is expected to go on trial in March. He faces charges of murder, rape, incest, false imprisonment and enslavement.
