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.

The ETF is finally back where it belongs: its home venue in the heart of Frankfurt. Yesterday, Something Rotten!celebrated its long-awaited revival—and the Frankfurter Rundschau was right there with us.

We‘re thrilled to finally raise the curtain of „Something Rotten!“ at our home, sweet home (venue) in the heart of Frankfurt. Egg-cellent times ahead. ✨✨✨

Soon. #SomethingRotten #TheEnglishTheatreFrankfurt.

See you soon. #SomethingRotten #TheEnglishTheatreFrankfurt

“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. #MLK #TheEnglishTheatreFrankfurt

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. (1/2)

Dear ETF-Friends! We see lots of laughter in your near future with the English Theatre Frankfurt’s Season 2025/ 2026 — once we return to our home venue later this year! Our new season is slated to kick off on the 14th of November with the reprisal of the hilarious musical „Something Rotten!“ (1/3)

The ETF’s latest production, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, opened earlier this month & has since enjoyed an incredible, nearly sold-out! Today marked the final performance of the season—but don’t worry! youtu.be/34wq3RZX1zE?...

Dear ETF-Guests, Due to illness, we regret to inform you that all performances of Untitled Love Story from Tuesday, the 27th of May to Friday, the 30th of May have been cancelled. (1/2)

Dear Guests, we are incredibly sorry for the late notice. Due to sudden illness, tonight‘s show cannot take place as planned. Our box office team is in the process of contacting all ticket holders for this evening to find the best solution for them. (1/2)

We need to talk, ETF-Friends!Join Nicole Deitelhoff, Michel Friedman, Gerald Knaus and Katrin Goering-Eckardt for a lively debate about “migration.” (1/2)

What a day! On the 5th of May we celebrated the PREMIERE of our education department‘s newest play for the young audiences, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time“! (1/2)

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. youtu.be/4PdfweluFbA?...

"‘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 took a moment out of her busy rehearsal schedule to share first insights with Gab Magazine into her staging of Lucy Kirkwood’s thriller “Untitled Love Story.” (1/3)

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)

Today, on World Autism Awareness Day, we take a moment to acknowledge that love and kindness doesn’t need many words, if any. This we can particularly learn from those living with autism. (1/3)

We’re merely a week away from “Kindertransport” arriving at Jugend- und Kulturkirche Sankt Peter. So we thought, we take look back at last month, when this Diane Samuels’ drama had its residence at the Theater am Zoo. (1/2)

Preparations for “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” are in full effect, as cast member Joseph Knitt shows us with this brief glimpse behind the scenes during his most recent costume fitting. Exciting!!!

As we are preparing for our next production, “Untitled Love Story,” a new mystery thriller by Lucy Kirkwood, we thought we could revive #FlashbackFriday and look back to another Kirkwood play we produced in 2019. (1/3)

Dear ETF Friends, While we are currently not in our regular performance modus, our Box Office Team is still available to handle all of your ticket needs & inquiries as usual — via phone, email & in person at the Theatre Zoo.Please check our website for the Box Office’s current service hours.

It is going to be a little quieter at the ETF. But only for a little — because we are busy preparing for your next production “Untitled Love Story”. This new mystery thriller by playwright Lucy Kirkwood will open on 26/4 at the Volksbühne. What is “Untitled Love Story” about, you wonder? 🤔 (1/3)

We are thrilled to announce the cast for our education department’s newest Play for Young Audiences, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time!” This popular mystery novel by Mark Haddon, & the stage adaption by Simon Stephens, is set to debut on 5/5 at the Volksbühne! (1/2)

Yesterday we had our last matinee of “Nunsense” to which we welcomed kids from all over the Rhine-Main Area, including students from IGS Friedrich-Ebert. It looks like they had a great time. And today, it’s time to bid farewell to our Little Sisters of Hoboken — only very few tickets remain.

Time sure flies when you’re having fun! We’re down to the last three shows of “Nunsense.” If you haven’t seen yet what the Frankfurter Rundschau calls the most “wonderful nonsense,” then you should run for the last tickets.

There are few tickets left for StreitClub#13 on 17/2 at the Theater am Zoo. Nicole Deitelhoff & Michel Friedman welcome Heinz Budde & Dr. Wolfram Weimer to wrestle with the idea that “Anything is possible, that’s democracy!” Let’s talk! W. @fgz-risc.bsky.social english-theatre.de/streitclub/
