History
History of the AnglistenTheater Since 1980
The AnglistenTheater of the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg is an amateur student theatre group that has performed plays in English since 1980. It was founded by Rudolf Beck who produced and directed plays between 1981 and 1990. He was succeeded by Ute Legner and Roger Evans, who directed their first play, Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls, in 1988. Ute Legner was in charge of the AnglistenTheater from 1991 to 2006. During her time more than 15 contemporary plays were shown at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 and at the Abraxas theatre, many of them for the first time on a German stage. After an interval of 6 years, Rudolf Beck revived the AnglistenTheater in 2012 with Simon Stephens’ One Minute.
