Dear Conjunction Theatre Company
Dear Conjunction (see Shakespeare's Henry V, Act V) has produced over 40 plays ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan, through Moli�re to Pinter and Beckett since it was founded in 1991. The company is composed of bilingual, professional actors, directors and writers, resident in Paris. Their aim is to present plays in English and in French, using essentially the same actors in both languages. For the last seven years the company has been performing at the Sudden Theatre (Paris 18e), and touring in France and Europe. It organises rehearsed play and poetry readings, and can be commissioned for specific events and special occasions (like Remembrance Day, Christmas, etc.)

This amateur theatre group has been active in the west of Paris for 28 years, putting on two English-language productions of a high standard each year, which cover a range of very different styles � from musicals and pantomimes to serious plays and comedies � including very successful productions of a pantomime “Sleeping Beauty” and “Dancing at Lughnasa” in 2006, “Oklahoma!” and “Roleplay” in 2007, and “April in Paris”, “The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole” in 2008-9 and “The Lady in the Van” in 2010.
The International Players are an energetic, friendly group of over 80 members from the UK, Ireland, the USA, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany and France. There are members of all ages with a variety of talents from acting and singing to designing sets and costumes.
The group rehearses and performs mainly in St-Germain-en-Laye and Le Pecq. New members are always welcome, even if in France for a short time.

Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge offers on-the-ground support to non-professional theatrical groups from outside France bringing English language theatre to Paris.
While our objectives permit us to offer such support to any such groups, our priority is giving practical assistance to the Tower Theatre Company, who come to Paris every summer to present a Shakespeare play in the open-air Théatre de Verdure du Jardin Shakespeare at the Pré Catelan in the Bois de Boulogne.
