    The theater association Turm 20 - formerly Limbic 2000 - caused a stir two years ago with its performances in the botanical garden. Now the dedicated collective has succeeded in converting the vacant Maximilian Defense Tower 20 on the Pöstlingberg into a spectacular outdoor theatre. William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream premiered on July 21.
