#theatreintimesofapandemic Luckily, rehearsals for the one-woman play “Annie Wobbler" have proven to be feasible even under Corona protocols. Here’s Jo Thorn telling us what she enjoys most about acting in this play, despite the line learning: https://t.co/fZ2QXwda1v

What would you give to enjoy these hot summer evenings on a lovely All-American porch with a cool drink in your hand? But: life in the Keller family backyard isn’t as happy and wholesome as it appears to be at first glance.#FlashbackFriday to Arthur Miller’s “All my Sons” (2015).

While the first theatres in Hamburg are getting ready to carefully re-open under Corona rules, our next production is still a few months away (November, fingers crossed!). Meet the cast, part 2 (Lexi as Vera) : https://t.co/N7xet3z8t5

If your mood could use a little boosting today: we dug through our archives to find some pics from past comedy productions of ours that could turn Monday into Funday. Remember "Wyrd Sisters", "Beyond Therapy", "Life and Beth" or "The Dining Room"? https://t.co/pHdjQwSRu5

Right now, we’d be in the middle of our run of Amy Herzog's "After the Revolution". Until we’re hopefully on stage in November check out what our cast have to say about the play. Here’s the first installment of "The Hamburg Players - off stage".

Throwback to a few past productions, mixed with a reminder to wash your hands regularly, always use a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and to follow the rules of social distancing in these extraordinary times! #flattenthecurve #theatrelife

Less than a week to go until opening night, no wonder our fearless Shakespeareans are getting a little excited. These three actors will present you "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" between 12 and 22 Feb. It’s going to a wild and hilarious ride.

When you sit down to read all of Shakespeare’s plays…
Good thing you won’t have to take it upon yourself to do that: “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)”: 12 and 15 and 19 and 22 Feb. https://t.co/mE5Ciyg1HP

“All the world’s a stage”. You can say that again: In “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” only THREE actors set out to perform ALL OF THE BARD’S 37 PLAYS in under 100 minutes… See how they fare taking on this daunting task: https://t.co/iGDg5V0OMB

“Here’s the story of a brother by the name of Othello!”
Looks like these three gentlemen attempt to show off their rap skills when discussing the fate of Othello and Desdemona – and we have photos to prove it!

Julie Spanswick plays Janet MacKenzie, the murder victim's housekeeper. "I am really enjoying my character. She is loyal, opinionated and direct. The challenge is to perfect her Scottish accent." #witnessfortheprosecution #agathachristie #theatre #meetthecast #theatreinhamburg

[The Hamburg Players @hamburgplayers]

Meet the cast, pt 2: Marc Fischer plays Detective Inspector Hearne, who investigates the murder case: "He is reluctant to admit to evidence that might prove the innocence of the defendant, like a fisherman is reluctant to let go of his catch." #theatreinhamburg #agathachristie

[The Hamburg Players @hamburgplayers]

Meet the cast, part 1: Harald Djürken plays Justice Wainwright: "The longer I deal with him, the more sympathetic he becomes to me: he respects fairnes in his courtroom even though he certainly has his favourites." #witnessfortheprosecution #actors #theatre #theatreinhamburg

[The Hamburg Players @hamburgplayers]

Here she is, the "Witness for the Prosecution". Our production of Agatha Christie's play goes up on Nov 6 at Theater an der Marschnerstraße. https://t.co/mE5Ciyg1HP
