Shakespeare rules the stage.
The Bottom brothers want him dethroned.
Cue a prophecy, tap-dancing chaos, and the birth of the world’s first musical.

“We must not accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On MLK Day, we reflect on resilience, justice, & the quiet strength of hope — values that resonate with us & guide us forward, on stage and beyond.

Hey ETF-Friends!
Just like every year, our box office reduces its services during the summer months. But as we are preparing to move back into our home venue, and with season 2025/2026 starting a little later than usual, our “summer break” will be extended this year. (1/2)

“The upcoming 2025/2026 season at the English Theatre in Frankfurt is titled ‘Egomania.’Whether it's Shakespeare, Churchill, Stalin, or Dracula — all the protagonists in the new season's plays are egomaniacs, explains artistic director Daniel Nicolai as the reason behind the title choice.

There has been a lot of mystery and secrecy around our newest thriller “Untitled Loved Story” by Lucy Kirkwood.

Maybe our trailer can help shed some light on…😉

If you like what you see, don’t wait to get your tickets…like a flash we’ll be gone by the end of May.

"‘Untitled Love Story’ is briskly and strongly staged and performed. It has a kind of catharsis in mind, that consists of laughter at the realization of how easily we get caught up in lies and half-truths,” writes the Frankfurter Rundschau.
Get on this journey with us…& get your tickets.

We’re just three days out before our newest —and for this season last (!) — production opens at the Volksbühne.

Director Psyche Stott is no stranger to the ETF.
In 2018, she celebrated her Frankfurt debut “The Children,” an eco-thriller by Lucy Kirkwood. Since then, Stott has returned again & again to stage anything from gripping nail-biters to moving character studies, leaving lasting impressions. (1/2)
