Background: Every two years, Theatre Café seeks out the best of contemporary European drama for Young People. Theatre Café commissions high-quality English translations of scripts 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 Theatre.
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 Invasion! by Jonas Hassen Khemiri at Soho Theatre (2009), Monsters by Niklas Rådstrom produced at The Arcola Theatre, London (2009) and Respect by Lutz Hübner produced at Birmingham Repertory Theatre (2010).
