We are proud to present Reflections, part of the Worldwide Ukrainian Play-Readings initiative.
The Center for International Theatre Development (CITD) commissioned 23 Ukrainian playwrights to create new works that “offer a first draft of history through the lens of the playwright.” This project led by John Friedman (American writer & translator) and Maksym Kurochkin (leader of the new Theatre of Playwrights in Kyiv) is being performed around the world.
We are thrilled to share with you a selection of plays from the project combined with live music and poetry!
The Covid restrictions are easing. Theaters are opening again, and we at Shakespeare Frankfurt held our 2nd annual online symposium and fundraiser on March 27th, 2022. This event was born from the restrictions placed due to the pandemic but we see it as a blessing in disguise. By offering this as online content we are able to gather artists from around the world to share their experiences and discuss various aspects of theatre.
