About Us
Our school's English Drama Group was founded in 2004. Since then, we have been
rehearsing and performing English plays in their original language. It is our idea to make a step out of our “ivory tower-ed” grammar school
environment into the community in which we live, and offer live English Theatre to the many people here whose mother tongue is English or who
'simply' love the language.
It has become a tradition to alternate “big plays” and “small plays” (not necessarily less art, but possibly less “arty”). The “big plays” are those
with which we improve our theatrical skills and widen our horizon and with which we engage in the cultural discourses of our contemporary
society/ies; in our “small plays” we turn our little dramatic space into a boulevard stage and explore the different traditions of stage
entertainment, such as comedy, farce or mystery.
If you are interested in joining us, do so! Please contact any member to find out when we meet (currently Tuesdays 3-4.30).
Romeo and Juliet is Peter Gutmann's last production with us.
