The English Theater of Brugge, Bruges

This theater in Bruges shows different English language theatrical productions all year round. It is housed in an old building with modern facilities.

The English theater of Bruges was inaugurated on the 1st of May 2007. The purpose was to promote the English language through drama performances in the city. The venue is an old cinema theater located in de Kuipersstraat. The first production screened here was the play, ‘Caviar & Chips’. The theater closed within six months and opened again in 2009. Today, a variety of theatrical productions are staged and many British actors come to perform here after the play is staged in the UK.

The English Theater is open all days of the week except on Mondays. Comedies, classics, musicals, cabaret, physical theater and devised plays are staged offering a wide variety of performances all year round. The interiors are modern and comfortable and the old world cinema environment is kept intact. A log fire is lit during winter to add to the quaint ambience. A daily 40 minute one man comedy show called, ‘Bruges Abridged’, about the city of Bruges is popular with international visitors. All shows are professional and of a high quality and the theater has had many well known theater directors.
