English Stage is a professional English language theatre company playing to audiences across Europe. It was created with the intention of making theatre accessible to anyone, anywhere using diverse and talented performers.

Artistic director David Llewellyn Child formed the compnay in 2007 realising the popularity of English language theatre outside the UK. His directorial debut was In Camera by Jean-Paul Sartre in 1995. It was this philosophical approach to theatre that led him to study works by Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard.

The Netherlands seemed a good starting point and ES staged its debut production Nowhere Here (written by the company) in Amsterdam and then at the Prague Fringe Festival to great reviews:

'Surreal and thought-provoking, English Stage's production Nowhere Here explores the disturbing, and at times extreme personality of Marc - a lost soul in a sea of souls. Flirting with insanity, he questions his very existence, mocking, abusing and eventually fearing the very thing he has become'.

'We're challenged to question our fears and anxieties and how we far too often impose them on others. If you find yourself not knowing where you are or where you've been, then Nowhere Here is where you need to be'. (Mark Mahl, iOpen Theatre).

Performance 2012

Just Passing Through 2012

Life is change. It jangles about in your pocket and then slips through the hole in your trousers. In fact everything is transient and changeable from relationships to music to science.

Peter More, on his way from someplace to somewhere else, pauses to share his thoughts, stories, poems and free-form, abstract gestures on the transience of life and everything in it.

This show will be announced early 2012.
