LateRooms.com - Theatertreffen to Showcase Top Productions in Berlin

    BERLIN, GERMANY, April 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Berlin's Theatertreffen is one of the most important events of the year for fans of German-language theatre.

Taking place at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele between Friday May 6th and Monday May 23rd, this 'theatre meeting' is based around a showcase of the ten best productions from the previous season.

The plays are selected by an independent jury of experts from a list of approximately 400 productions staged in the German capital.

In addition, Theatertreffen includes a varied programme of discussions, premieres, prize ceremonies, concerts and exhibitions.

The ten most notable productions for this year's event were announced on February 15th. They include works by celebrated playwrights such as Arthur Miller, Henrik Ibsen and Anton Chekhov.

Der Kirschgarten, a German version of Chekhov's famous drama The Cherry Orchard, will be staged at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele on Monday May 9th and Tuesday May 10th.

Alternatively, theatre-goers may choose to enjoy Nora oder Ein Puppenhaus - A Doll's House by Ibsen - on Sunday May 15th and Monday May 16th.

Tickets for both productions are available online, priced between EUR15 and EUR53 (GBP13.20 and GBP46.80).

Although the plays are performed in German, visitors not fluent in the language should still find plenty to enjoy during Theatertreffen.

As well as the drama, the event offers a number of performances that transcend the boundaries of language, such as dance and physical theatre.

There will also be an exhibition looking at the role of women in the theatrical arts, entitled Women Directors: A Male Profession in Female Hands.
