Background:
Every two years, Theatre Café seeks out the best of contemporary European drama for Young People.
It then commissions high quality English translations of the scripts that it believes will most intrigue and stimulate English programmers and producers.
The staged rehearsed readings are produced at Theatre Café over 2 days with an outstanding ensemble of actors; this is integrated with a symposium, attended by the writers, and involving a number of leading directors, producers and translators. It is led by Chris Campbell, Literary Manager at the Royal Court in London.
The Theatre Café Festival actively encourages theatres and companies to produce the work independently by putting them in touch with both the writer and the relevant embassies or cultural organisations.
Recent examples include Monsters by Niklas Radstrom produced at The Arcola Theatre, London (2009) and Respect by Lutz Hübner produced at Birmingham Repertory Theatre (2010).
