About Us
English Stage is a professional English language theatre company playing to audiences across the Benelux region. It was created with the intention of making theatre accessible to anyone, anywhere using diverse and talented performers from across the globe.
Artistic director David Llewellyn Child formed the company in 2007 realising the popularity of English language theatre outside the UK. His directorial debut was In Camera by Jean-Paul Sartre back 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 NowhereHere (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 own 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'. (Peter Mahl, iOpen Theatre)
