Continental Europe largest English-speaking theatre in the heart of Frankfurt, at the corner of Gallusanlage & Kaiserstraße!
(638)

The English Theatre Frankfurt plays a pivotal role in the cultural life of Frankfurt, a city with the largest proportional international community in Germany. The theatre has become an important landmark for the Frankfurt-Rhein-Main region, due to its consistent, high-quality standards, international flair and function as a meeting point for people of all nationalities. The Hessen government have referred to it as a beacon for the whole region. The English Theatre presents a diverse program of its own productions for a broad audience. The shows offer a wealth of entertainment on a high level. The English Theatre produces at least five plays per season. This includes classics, comedies, thrillers, contemporary plays and musicals. The casting and rehearsal of the theatre´s own productions are held in London.

70% of the visitors to the English Theatre are German speakers and the remaining 30% stems from the large English-speaking community in and around Frankfurt. The theatre’s auditorium seats 300 and makes use of the latest audio-visual technical equipment. The adjacent bar, James, has two floors equipped with cosy but contemporary furniture, which underlines the unique atmosphere of the theatre itself.

Lights, sound, cues — and everything you don’t see.

While SINGLE SPIES unfolds on stage, there’s a whole other performance happening behind the scenes.

In the tech box, our stage management, sound and lighting crew keep a close eye (and ear!) on everything. Focus, precision, perfect timing… and the occasional moment of laughter. 😉

Because theatre magic doesn’t just happen on stage. It takes a whole team to bring it to life.

A little behind-the-scenes glimpse, captured by our FSJ volunteer Clara. ❤️

👑 Two women. One actress. And a whole lot of character.

Augustina Seymour takes on not one but TWO remarkable roles in SINGLE SPIES at The English Theatre Frankfurt: actress Coral Browne and Queen Elizabeth II.

One moment, she’s navigating the world of a sharp-witted actress. The next? She’s the Queen herself.

In a today‘s feature by the Frankfurter Neue Presse (FNP), Augustina talks about bringing real-life women to the stage, finding the little details in their voices and mannerisms, and why the magic of theatre is all about the people you share it with.

And here’s a fun little coincidence: her uncle once played Anthony Blunt — the very man her Queen now comes face to face with in the play. Talk about a family connection! 🎭

Curious to see how it all unfolds? Come meet the characters, uncover the secrets, and experience Single Spies for yourself.

Two men. Two double lives. One extraordinary story of espionage, loyalty and betrayal.

In Alan Bennett’s SINGLE SPIES, the worlds of Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt reveal the surprising contradictions behind the Cambridge Five.

From Moscow and a longing for a London tailor to the secrets hidden behind the respectable world of art, Bennett finds both the absurdity and the humanity in lives built on deception.

What does it mean to belong to a world — and then betray it?
