Past productions

True West

by Sam Shepard, directed by Chris Buck

3-6 April, 2025 at De Kunsthut

Hans Holsen (LEE) and Jimmy Finch (AUSTIN) starred in the AATG’s production of Sam Shepard’s classic play. Both actors deserve enormous credit for their portrayals of warring brothers, each pursuing their version of the ‘American Dream’. Directed by Chris Buck, who early on placed an emphasis on bringing out the comic aspects of the play, the AATG created a visceral and memorable piece of theatre. Megan Walch Janusz (MOM) and Henri Colens (SAUL) found themselves in the supporting roles. Huge thanks also to the crew comprising Peter Comley, Eva Buscher, Emma de Moel, Nick Verkerk, Hans van Bemmelen, Paul Dundas and John de Vries. And of course thank you to Gaby Weekhout at De Kunsthut, the venue of choice for gritty, independent theatre in The Hague!

Panto magic!

5-7 December 2024 at Theater aan het Spui

Directed by Jenny Hall, ‘Peter Pan’ lived up to its billing. The writer may have been ‘lazy and out of ideas’, but after several twists and turns, Peter, Wendy and Tinkerbell managed to restore the source of the pixie dust and defeat mean ol’ Captain Hook (again), with the help of Mrs Smee and the Faerie Queen, scarecrows, zombies, stroopwafels, mobile phone technology and, of course, all the boys and girls.

Thank you to everyone who made it so memorable: our fantastic cast, an army of technical crew, set builders, painters, costume designers, make-up artists, stage managers, production coordinators, choreographers, kids chaperones, the musicians in the band… And you, the audience, who made all the hard work worthwhile!

A Night to Remember…

21-23 June, 2024 at De Warenar

Directed by Jenny Hall, 'A Night on Broadway 2' was the second edition of our family-friendly musical extravaganza featuring some of Broadway’s greatest hits! Audiences were treated to songs from classics like Grease, Annie, Evita and The Addams Family, but also innovatively choreographed numbers from lesser known shows, such as I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and Six.

This was the greatest show!

Poetry & Freedom

19-21 May, 2023 at Het Zeeheldentheater

12 May, 2024 at De Regentes

17 May, 2024 at Zuiderpershuis in Antwerp

Initially part of a Shelley/Byron double-bill directed by Henri Colens and John Kearey in 2023, ‘The Prisoner of Chillon’ was chosen to be the AATG’s entry to FEATS in May 2024. In the wake of John’s tragic death, the Byron poem about an incarcerated freedom fighter took on even greater significance. Our intrepid cast (Chris Buck, Rob Grant and Ron Hooghiemstra) rose to the challenge and their performances paid homage to John’s passion for innovative and meaningful theatre.
