While “The Barbra Streisand Songbook” starring Suzanne Dowaliby will be performed on July 17 and 18, “Me, Myself and Janis Joplin” starring Floy is scheduled for July 20 to July 25.

English Lovers” and enjoy finest high quality impro theatre at its best on August 3 to August 8. And come to see “HAP”, world premiere of BAFTA awarded playwright John Foster, from 27 July to 1 August. Here’s a brief summery of the plot: Meet Hap. Despite all attempts to be a miserablist she can’t ever be unhappy. Unhappy, at being happy, she visits Doctor Marples seeking a cure. Doctor Marples, herself desperate for joy doesn’t know how to be happy. This hilarious and quirky comedy about our modern obsession with the pursuit of happiness, shows two very different , city-slicker women on either end of the slippery therapist’s couch. Despite the ongoing monotony of Brexit, Corona and takeaways-for-one. Hap and her doctor find, to their surprise giggles and romance in the most unlikely places – the therapist’s couch.

We are sure that you will greatly enjoy this comedy, directed by Paul Glaser, and leave the theatre in high spirits.

Sorry, but we have to pester you with the compulsory safety rules.

  • As before the closure, we are only allowed to receive a limited number of people.
  • We are allowed to sell tickets in the “chessboard system”, which means that we always leave one seat free between an occupied seat.
  • Masks are still compulsory. This time also at the square.
  • Our bar is now open again. Our guests are allowed to consume their drinks on their seats.
  • An official negative coronatest is also compulsory (not older than 48 hours). You can also have it done directly next to the box office, at the official testing point. The colleagues at the pharmacy are happy to offer us this service. The test should be carried out by 19:00 at the latest. You can book an appointment under the link below or scan the QR code on the left.
