Overall: Thanks for your work on this article. The one thing that is troubling me here is the hook; "ran Autorentheater Berlin for new theatre projects" is a bit too specific so it doesn't quite work. Unless this theatre was very renowned or has its own separate article, I feel that having the name in the hook takes away from the hookiness and adds a bit of confusion. Also unclear to me here is what exactly a "new theatre project" is (aren't all projects new when people start working on them?), my understanding from the source is that they had a focus on original plays - it can be perhaps clarified regarding that, or if the interesting thing is the fact that she founded her own theatre as someone who is otherwise known for crime dramas, that could be emphasised. --GGT (talk) 16:22, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

It isn't a theatre in the sense of a specific house, but a series of projects I understand are world premieres of unusual things. Perhaps you can describe that better. (English is not my first language, so I try to keep things simple.) The first surprise about her is that after decades of playing seriously on stages, she became known for the crime series, the second, that she was still energetic in creating her own things, but it's too much for one hook to say all that.

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the response. I think the ALT hook works much better so I'm happy to approve this now, I've just taken the liberty to remove the word "new" as I feel it's redundant. --GGT (talk) 10:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
