A vacant throne, a contract between brothers and the intention of doing the right thing.
The king of Thebes has died and his sons Eteocles and Polyneices fight over the succession to the throne. Both find their ruin in the pursuit of power; while Eteocles dies protecting the city, Polyneices dies trying to destroy it. The new king Creon rules that in honour of Eteocles, Polyneices is to stay unburied. Their sister Antigone is outraged about this unjust law that contradicts the laws of the gods. But…
Should we value unwritten laws of humanity more highly than the laws made by humans? Should a peson be treated differently in death because of their actions in life? And should one risk everything to do the right thing?
These questions may be even more relevant today than 2500 years ago when this play was originally written.
A modern adaptation of the tragedy by Sophocles.

In this summer’s production, the BUSC travels to the underworld. Things first seem ordinary, until a coin game alerts the characters to the troubling situation their souls are really in. They embark on a journey to finish all their unfinished business, pondering their last days on earth and trying to figure out how they might regain freedom. In their quest, the will need to unravel the mysterious plot of an unsuccessful author with evil intentions.
A modern adaption using excerpts from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” and W.S. Gilbert’s 1874 play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern”, the play presents new and unique insights into the the beloved characters.
This summer, the Bonn University Shakespeare Company returns to a wood full of mystery, scheming and fairytale characters. After the huge success of the “Faeries and Tales Tour” 2020, the play is being resurrected, er, revived this year. Follow the legendary fairy detective Inspector Boggart on the trickiest case of her career: in her search for a missing princess, we encounter shady witnesses, mischievous suspects and meet characters from legends, myths and literature.
Follow us into the fairy forest – but don’t stray too far from the group…you don’t know what all lurks in the dark.
The Bonn University Shakespeare Company e.V. has been staging Shakespeare, British authors, and other world literature in English language for over 25 years – and since 2018, it has also produced entertaining originals in the Grüne Spielstadt.

“Ghosts” focuses on Helene, who has spent her life suspended in an emotional void after the death of her cruel but outwardly charming husband. She is determined to escape the ghosts of her past by telling her son, Oswald, the truth about his father. But on his return from his life as a painter in France, Oswald reveals how he has already inherited the legacy of Captain Alving’s dissolute life. The play premiered in 1882 and it‘s scathing commentary on 19th century morality labelled it shockingly indecent and controversial. Now the play is back and it is just as telling as ever. The play „Ghosts” is given a chilling new life in this production.
We are delighted to announce: This december, the Bonn University Shakespeare Company will stage two plays side by side! We delve into two plays, which pair love with conflicts and war:
Romeo and Juliet
and
Troilus and Cressida
Whilst Romeo & Juliet is a shakespearean play gone myth, Troilus & Cressida is Shakespeare’s retelling of the myth of Troy!
