Check out our website for more info! www.platypus-theater.de Founded in 1985, English Theater Platypus, is one of the most outstanding and productive independent theater groups in Berlin. Since 1992, our concept has been to present plays in English to young German audiences. We are constantly refining our trend setting concept. Platypus is THE English language-theater for children’s and youth-thea
ter in Berlin. Having no theater of our own, we co-operate with numerous Berlin theaters but most of our performances are in the BKA Theater in Kreuzberg. Approximately 100 performances take place in Berlin annually. On top of this, we also go on tour with our productions both in other parts of Germany and in other countries. More than 20,000 young people see our shows each year. The actors, authors and musicians working for Platypus Theater are from numerous English-speaking countries such as Australia, England, Ireland, India, South Africa or the U.S.A. Because of our multi- national ensemble the “foreignness” that is a central theme in our plays is not only played out, it is real: with the foreign faces, mentalities and experiences of the participants.
