Platypus Theater

Founded in 1985, English Theater Platypus is one of the most outstanding and productive independent theater groups in Berlin. Since 1992, our concept has been to present plays in English to young German audiences.  We are constantly refining our trend-setting concept. Platypus is THE English-language theater for children’s and youth theater in Berlin. Having no theater of our own, we cooperate with numerous Berlin theaters and most of our performances take place in the BKA Theater in Kreuzberg. Approximately 100 performances are offered in Berlin annually. In addition to this, we also go on tour with our productions both in other parts of Germany and in other countries. More than 20,000 young people see our shows each year.
