A Vienna theatre is to stage a satirical soap opera based on Josef Fritzl, who held his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered her seven children.

The Raum-Anatomie Theatre in Vienna says the show will be titled "Pension Fritzl" - German for "Fritzl's Bed and Breakfast".

The production's director is Hubsi Kramar, an Austrian stand-up comedian who raised eyebrows when he tried to attend Vienna's Opera Ball dressed as Adolf Hitler.
