I’ve seen several figures that say roughly 600, of 3000, plays from the era survive. And there are a number of titles to lost plays that are known. But I can’t seem to find a good list of the surviving plays anywhere. Most lists contain plays by the big three of the era and a few other prominent playwrights, and that’s it.
Hi everyone, I just moved to Munich to start a new job so my German is very limited. I used to do some theatre and I would like to continue here but, unfortunately, I haven't found any English group. I would like to ask if anyone knows of any English theatre class or group? (of course not professional)
Lately all Marvel movies have had subtitles in them, but Eternals didn't have them (watched in English) and I thought it was the theatre's fault because they don't have them for Spider-Man either.
Did Marvel stop putting them or is it the theatre I go to?
It's 2.25 hours long , and I know pretty much nothing about the piece, but I'm interested. Do you think it's worth going to see?
I'm taking a class on Asian American theatre, and the works dealing with Korea are particularly interesting for me. Can I be introduced to the latest theatre works related to Korea created in the United States or the United Kingdom? Especially, I think it would be nice to deal with Korean culture or music.
Just watched Dune recently at VOX and the audio wasn’t clear during certain scenes. The film only had Arabic subtitles as did the other ones I have watched previously.
I would like to know whether any of the theatres here screen films with English subtitles. Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone had some good tips regarding English theatre performances in Berlin. I know there's the English Theatre (https://www.etberlin.de) and that a number of the larger theatres offer subtitles which I have taken advantage of already. I'm preferably looking for small performances as I'm missing them since I moved here a couple of years ago. I've tried to search for it but often it leads me understandably back to the ET. I wanted to know if there are any more offerings like this out there.
I'm in Vienna for the weekend and looking for some theatre or improv shows this weekend. Any tips?

Hey there,
as the title already tells I want to get out of here since the whole college thing isn´t working out for me right now and I don´t feel happy here anymore. So I thought about going away for a while (leave Germany and go somewhere else in Europe) and doing something I really care about which is working at the theatre. Are there any theatres you know of that would be a good choice? Tell me about it if you know something :)
I still am unsure how to get started but if I know where to go (or if there are a few places to chose from) it´s going to be easier.
Thanks a lot for your help and I hope yall have a beautiful day :)
P.S.
I´m currently studying smth I don´t even want to study because I´m more or less forced to. My passion is the theatre, acting and creative things. Unfortunately I didn´t do much for it this year....that´s why i want to leave for now. Don´t feel comfortable anymore
I've been reading more books from the French Enlightenment, which is roughly from the 1710s up to the 1790s. It is quite interesting. For me, Britain and the United States have many interesting things in this period, but by far I think that the English Renaissance, the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, have better literature than their descendants.
Firstly, there was better theater, in particular better tragedy. By the time we get to Queen Anne and the subsequent Hanover kings, you do get some great comedies, but not really any good tragedy since that became something more popular with opera.
In France, however, you have Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire, Abbe Prevost, who wrote the most outrageous things. Think of Diderot's Les bijoux indiscrets about a sultan with a magic ring that makes women's vaginas speak. Or perhaps think of Voltaire's wild play, Mahomet, which could hardly be performed today. And, of course, there's the Marquis de Sade.
In other words, I think the French in 1700s were as edgy as the English had been in their renaissance. The time of outrage and growing knowledge, the time of Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, Thomas Middleton, John Donne, Francis Bacon, etc... Back in 2005, when the Barbican produced Marlowe's Tamburlaine, they had to abridge some scenes in order to not offend folks.
Which one do you prefer? Do you like French enlightenment literature or the English renaissance?
P.S
I would also add that late-Tsarist Russia also had some great mindblowing literature
I like Quebecois movies but I don't understand French very well. In Ottawa, the ByTowne Cinema played Quebecois and International movies with English subtitles.
