English Youth Theatre Double Bill – ‘Zero For The Young Dudes!’ / ‘The Real Lady Macbeth’

Event date(s):

English Youth Theatre returns to the Badhuistheater with a special double bill performance.

Coming from Belgium and fresh off their appearance at the FEATS festival in Den Haag, these young actors bring two exciting plays to life: Zero For The Young Dudes! and The Real Lady Macbeth. You’re in for a treat!

Deep Fake by Denis Burke

Event date(s):

What happens when a lie walks into your life?

Two guest house owners are surprised by the return of an old friend and employee, Tara, who they haven’t seen in years.

But something is wrong. Why does Tara seem so different? And why do the other guests react so strangely to her?

Set in a sleepy seaside tourist town on the east coast of England in the 1990s, Deep Fake echoes the dangers and personal costs of the mis- and disinformation that is so prevalent in the world today.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Event date(s):

Dorian Gray is perfection itself. He is young, charming, and beautiful. At least.. on the outside.
This adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray is a story about the struggle to reconcile what people show to the outside world with the parts that they choose to hide.

Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen

Event date(s):

Hedda Gabler is a portrait of a complex anti-heroin, and a pressure cooker of a play that plays out in a single day in Hedda and Tesman’s house. The Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote the play Hedda Gabler in the 1890s, and the world has held a fascination for the text since.

Macbeth: A Bloody Good Comedy!

Event date(s):

Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy gets a wildly irreverent makeover in Macbeth: A Bloody Good Comedy! — a fast-paced riot of slapstick, satire, and sheer theatrical chaos. With power-hungry schemers, ridiculous prophecies, and a banquet of absurd surprises, this madcap parody gleefully plays with theatrical convention, turning tragedy into riotous delight.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare purist or a comedy junkie, prepare for a bloody good time!

Two by Jim Cartwright

Event date(s):

Sharp. Darkly comic. Unexpectedly heartwarming.

Two by Jim Cartwright is a sharp, darkly comic and unexpectedly heartwarming portrait of a Northern pub and the larger-than-life characters who pass through its doors. Bursting with quick wit, biting humour and moments of surprising tenderness, the play balances laugh-out-loud comedy with heart-wrenching glimpses beneath the surface.

THE LAST REHEARSAL

Event date(s):

A showcase anthology of solo pieces and short plays tapping into the human spirit of self-doubt, conflict and the unwavering desire of being heard, seen and understood.

Join the 2025/2026 class of Mulholland Academy’s One Year Full-Time Professional Program for their final performance together, as they step into stories that are honest, uncomfortable, unexpected, and deeply weird.

The Bit Show! Vol. 3

Event date(s):

Simon Lukacs curates and hosts another unique one-off evening of improv madness. It will be wild unpredictable, and unforgettable!
