The theater company putting on the production is Schlosspark Theater Berlin. They have a Facebook page which has a slightly better quality version of the poster among the photos hosted there:

There's also there webpage which has the poster art prominently displayed:

And here's a German article that briefly discusses the play and showcases the same poster art:

From reading the article it looks like this is set to open February 18th, although I could be misreading those dates. Also, there's a sentence that implies that there is nudity in the play. While summarizing some plot points the article mentions a "nackte Sekretärin in der Küche" which Google tells me translates to "a naked secretary in the kitchen."
Anyway, just thought I'd share that additional information. Maybe we'll see some stills from the play surface at some point and get more elaboration on the "naked secretary."

I was intrigued when I passed by the poster somewhere on the streets in Berlin. Meanwhile you can see it everywhere around here. The Schlosspark Theatre, owned by nationwide well known comedian Dieter Hallervorden, is pretty popular in Berlin. I went to the theatre(I live not too far from it) to see if they have more pictures in their window displays. But it seems the Play doesn´t keep what the ad promises. There were some more pics of that "naked secretary in the kitchen", but she covers herself with a table cloth or a curtain, so you can´t see anything. I didn´t go to see the play. Maybe I will, but I´m not sure. You can´t take pictures anyway, cameras or mobiles are not allowed.
By the way:"Man tut was man kann" is a german saying and it means something like: "I´ll do my very best."
