BSS: Antony And Cleopatra Auditions (20,27 Sept 2025)

directed by Patrick Stephenson.

Auditions for our May 2026 production, Antony and Cleopatra directed by Patrick Stephenson, will take place on Saturdays, 20th and 27th of September at The Warehouse Studio Theatre from 2pm to approximately 5pm. 

The events of Antony and Cleopatra will take place in the near future (the 2030s), some 15-20 years after Caesar’s assassination, a period comparable to the 13 years that separated Caesar’s assassination in 44 BC and the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The context will be a power struggle that follows a populist takeover of the European Union. Much action will be depicted as unfolding here in Brussels.

If you wish to audition please go to our online audition form through this link. There you will find more information about the production, a full list of parts available and a form to fill in and send to the director requesting an audition.

ECC: Home, I’m Darling (23-27 Sept 2025)

Home, I’m Darling by Laura Wade is a darkly comedic exploration of modern domesticity and gender roles.

Set in the 21st century, it centres on Judy, a woman who’s devoted herself to recreating the idyllic 1950s housewife fantasy, complete with vintage dresses and traditional values. However, as the cracks in this picture-perfect life begin to show, Judy is forced to confront the tension between her nostalgic desires and the reality of her modern life. The play humorously and poignantly examines the complexities of identity, marriage, and the pressures of societal expectations.

It is directed by Kateryna Sakhanevych and will be performed at the Warehouse Studio Theatre, Rue Waelhem 69a, 1030 Brussels. Tickets are €18.

This amateur production of “Home, I’m Darling” is presented in arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

__________

Doors open at 7:30pm and the bar will be open until shortly before curtain up, as well as during the interval. The show starts at 8pm and should finish by 10.30pm. Given the configuration of the space we cannot admit latecomers.

ATC: The Gun Monologues (21-25 Oct 2025)

Mass shootings in the U.S. happen with shocking frequency. Police brutality has also become more prevalent in the American news. But what doesn’t always make the headlines are the dozens of smaller-scale instances of both kinds of violence happening every single day across the USA. A frequent and reasonable question Americans living abroad often get asked is, why? And just as reasonable: Why can’t something be done? The answers are as tangled up with American culture as are the roots of the problems themselves. In many ways the perplexities only start to unravel when the strands of individual experience are tugged free and examined. Personal stories, after all, are the threads that form the patterns of the whole cultural cloth.

Robynn Colwell’s story, “Wayne Dawson’s Bullet,” revolves around an incident in her father’s life as a cop in rural Colorado, a story that, like childhood itself, is reshaped by time.

E.M. Lewis’s, “The Gun Show,” performed by Jace Jasper, is a series of true stories from the author’s life that recount a personal and complex relationship with guns.

These are only two American stories among millions, but each is drawn from real life. And, crucially, each is driven by the fundamental truth that, with time, perspectives can change.

BSS: Measure for Measure (5-9 Nov 2025)

Director: Esther Pozo Vera. 5th to 9th of November

Venue: La Maison Qui Chante, Rue Viaduc 122, 1050 Ixelles

Set in a fictional modern-day America under an ultra-conservative religious regime, this production explores the State’s control over private life, sexual morality, and personal freedom. It delves into questions of consent, hypocrisy, and the tension between mercy and strict moral judgment—issues as urgent today as in Shakespeare’s time. The production contains mature references to sexuality, religious belief, and power dynamics.

Assassins Breed: The Birthday Party (7-10 Jan 2026)

Assassin’s Breed presents Harold Pinter’s masterpiece The Birthday Party, directed by Martin Henry.

Venue: Salle Dublin, Rue de Dublin 13, Bruxelles, Belgique

Dates:
20.00, Wednesday Jan 7th, 2026
2030 Thursday Jan 8th
20.00 Saturday Jan 10th

Tickets at BilletWeb

Pinter’s first full-length play got a rough ride from audience and critics alike, closing after only eight shows. It was rescued from obscurity by legendary theatre critic Harold Hobson’s review the following Sunday: ‘…Pinter, on the evidence of his work, possesses the most original, disturbing and arresting talent in theatrical London … Mr Pinter and The Birthday Party… will be heard of again. Make a note of their names.’

The first of what came to be called ‘Comedies of Menace’, The Birthday Party sets out the stall of themes, obsessions and style, which Pinter continued to explore throughout his writing career, in a voice sufficiently original to coin the word ‘Pinteresque’ and ultimately to win him both the Legion D’Honeur and the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Set in a seaside boarding house somewhere on the south coast of England, the play tracks the psychological disintegration of struggling musician Stanley. He lives in some sort of balance with the irrepressible Meg and the laid-back Petey before two men with shadowy connections to his past arrive. Both Stanley and their neighbour Lulu will never be the same again. In a world in which we now have to struggle with ‘truth’, ‘post-truth’ and outright ‘fake news’, Pinter’s examination of the threatening ambiguities of language and the fragile ‘certainties’ of self-identity have never seemed more prescient and topical. Who can one trust…?

ECC: Puss in Boots (30 Jan – 1 Feb 2026)

Join us for a magical tale of cats, ogres, millers and postmen in the ECC’s 2026 pantomime, Puss in Boots!

When Tom is tricked out of his inheritance by his wicked but not very bright brothers Dick and Harry, he sets out to make his fortune with nothing but a cat to keep him company. And so begin Puss and Tom’s adventures… with a sprinkle of magic, more than one pair of boots and a trio of naughty kittens, the pair wend their way to Castle Hazard, ancestral home of the eponymous Duke and Duchess and their headstrong daughter Daisy. Helped, and occasionally hindered, by their friends Auntie the nursemaid, Billy the postie and even a vaguely familiar ogre, Tom and Daisy seek their happy ending – via a whole lot of singing, dancing and slightly-less-terrible-than-last-year jokes.

Don’t miss out on the purrrrrfect way to dispel the winter blues, and book your tickets now!
