That Theatre Company is an English language theatre founded in 1997 by Ian Burns and Julian Simpson. Their first production was Irish writer Marie Jones' highly acclaimed and moving piece, "A Night in November". Since then the group has expanded, and has enjoyed working with other resident British actors, Tom McEwan, Linford Brown, David Bateson (writer/musician The Steve Smith ) and Steve Smith.
Directors we’ve worked with include Nina Larissa Bassett, Barry McKenna, Laura Casey and Claus Bue. These have been more than ably assisted by Nicole Bertrand-Post.
The team:
Were also fortunate to have been able to work with the fantastic talents of Annemette Andersen, Sira Stampe, Agnethe Nordin, Christina Hildebrandt, Gordon Kennedy, Linda Elvira, Laura Bach, Thomas Magnussen and Maria Lohmann.
That Theatre is fortunate to have some hard-working people behind the scenes too, without whom productions would be impossible. Notably: Mark Jones as our Company Manager. Christian Dahlberg composes any music required. In the lighting field we have Julian Simpson and Katja Andreassen. PR is in the very capable hands of Thomas Dahlberg and Søren Petersen keeps our website up to date and designs our sound effects. Educational Material is written by Birgitte Holm-Halkjær from Borupaard Gymnasium.
We are very excited to be working with Reumert-winning scenographer Johanne Eggert on our forthcoming production of The Collector.
The ensemble has enjoyed success with both thought-provoking drama and entertainment of a lighter nature. Since the beginning, the theatre has attempted to appeal to all age groups, to Danes, resident English-speakers and tourists.
Charles Marowitz thinks we’re a breath of fresh air.
That Theatre Company's main aim is to establish a highly professional and entertaining international theatre that appeals to minds and hearts.
Good theatre provides a platform where almost anything can happen, where the actors are free to play out our hopes and fears. The most precious gift an actor possesses is his/her ability to communicate. It's this connection between the actor and the audience, between imagination and reality and between cultures that we want to encourage through our productions." |
