27.03.2021 - HAPPY WORLD THEATRE DAY!
As we celebrate #worldtheatreday2021 at English Theatre Düsseldorf we look back to our very last live performance on stage on 31st October 2020 It is of course our fairytale musical CINDERELLA by Marc Robin and Curt Dale Clark!
To all the theatre companies around the world, here's to making things happen during a pandemic we will be back, bringing magic to the stage again soon!
We are thrilled to announce that next May/June 2021, English Theatre Düsseldorf will be performing Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ in the Kaiserpfalz Ruins, from 29th May - 9th June! Uniting a team of creatives from across Europe and the USA, we present to you ‘Shakespeare Am Rhein!’
"If we look around the world, we unfortunately can still find historical and learned hatred between two parties everywhere. Despite this, we continue to hope that the useless sacrifices of this timeless prejudice will eventually be recognised. We advocate for and hold on to the idea that one day it may be triumphed. In this respect, ROMEO & JULIET continues to remain a relevant story and one that can serve as a blueprint for countless conflicts throughout time, not only globally and socially, but also within our personal lives.
Our performance of ROMEO & JULIET will tell the love story of two young women. The Kaiserpfalz Ruins are the ideal venue for this story, bringing its own history to the stage; evoking memories and depicting how the play’s theme of hate under the threat of love, has created physical alterations to the space. The audience will sit enraptured within the calm, powerful atmosphere of the ruins, to enjoy a unique summer evening."
