THAT THEATRE COMPANY “Shakespeare Unplugged”
An interactive collection of some of Shakespeare’s poetry about that crazy & complex thing called love….
Two friends meet in a bar to watch Denmark versus England in the football finals. (It is fiction folks!) A power cut shuts off the TV connection and they have to resort to a clockwork radio. Not finding the match they stumble across a broadcast of A Midsummer Night´s Dream, which is ending. They get engrossed and begin to chat about Shakespeare and their relationship with him. They relate to the audience as if they too are punters in the bar and gradually morph into “Rude Mechanicals” – humble players from the Chamberlain’s and King’s Men who closely worked with Shakespeare himself. The barman is in love, but shy and in need of inspiration…
A fun and enchanting way of enjoying Shakespeare’s universal appeal.
With Ian Burns, Andrew Jeffers, Adam Brix and Vibeke Nielsen. Directed by a man who has shown his understanding and feel for Shakespeare with his previous well-received and award-winning Shakespearian productions, Barry McKenna.
We are excited to present to you a world premiere.

Mindfulness in English
When is the last time you had a day in peace and quiet?
Non-doing has nothing to do with being indolent or passive. Quite the contrary. It takes great courage and energy to cultivate non-doing, both in stillness and in activity. This is a great chance to switch off your cell phone, and leave your daily obligations for a few hours.
This is a chance to explore and discover ways for you to find calm, stability, and reduce stress, throughout your day – in your private and work life. You will be guided through meditation, and dialog. The exercises are easy to integrate into your everyday life. Meditation experience is not required.
You will get:
•a in-depth introduction to what mindfulness meditation is
•renewed energy for the summer
•inspiration and tools for your ongoing practice or work with mindfulness
Date: July 9th from 10 – 14:30
Price: 500,- including tea and snacks.
Place: “Center for kropsterapi og selvudvikling”, Nansensgade 47, Copenhagen
