About us
The Bridgin’ Drama theatre group was established in 2009 by the Bridge, English Language Centre. It was founded by a group of English teachers who share a love for the English language and who are also passionate about theatre.
At the outset, scenic readings were held in the Medical Gardens but this quickly developed into full-scale productions at a regular venue.
We found our forte in adaptations of Slovak theatre classics, which we bring to modern audiences with humour and levity.
By using set texts produced in English, we attempt to develop our students’ interest in our culture, bring them closer to the staples of Slovak literature and, at the same time, improve their language skills.
Bridgin’ Drama has also taken up the challenge of developing tourism in the capital. We are the only theatre in Slovakia which offers tourists an opportunity to learn something about our culture, philosophy and traditions in a language they understand.
We are the theatre that connects; welcome to our world. 🙂
