50 Years On Stage – A Visual Journey Check out our Poster Exhibition
Take a walk through five decades of English theater at the University of Würzburg. Join us for a special exhibition showcasing a wide range of the production posters of the English Drama Group. From classic plays to bold experimental productions, explore the creativity and evolution of our stage presence through the years.
We’re also pleased to share that we were featured in the university magazine einBlick; if you’d like to learn more about us, take a look at the article “50 Jahre Shakespeare und Co.”
We are also very pleased to have been featured on the radio! You can listen to the segment here to find out how long the EDG has been active, how it has shaped the lives of former students (with interviews from alumni), and hear from our current director, Helena Klein.

ABOUT THE ENGLISH DRAMA GROUP (EDG)
The English Drama Group was founded in 1975 and has been part of the university ever since. At the end of each semester, a new play is performed. During the last few years, the EDG has experimented with different types of theatre, e.g., immersive theatre, promenade theatre, and improv theatre, while also presenting more traditional forms of stage plays. All of our past productions were very well received by our audience.
In the EDG, we communicate exclusively in English. Members of the group will, therefore, not only get to know a new play each semester (which might be very useful for their studies) and contribute to its production but also improve their English. Moreover, we organize socials and fundraisers (e.g., the English Pub Quiz), which makes the EDG a great place to get to know new people and make friends.
We are always looking for new actors/actresses and backstage staff. If you would like to join the EDG, please proceed to the contact page.
