Marking our 60th anniversary, the Hamburg Players were proud to host the European amateur theatre festival FEATS (Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies) at Altonaer Theater from 6 to 9 June 2025.

Four nights of one-act plays, performed in English by 12 groups from all over mainland Europe - FEATS is a celebration of the artform of theatre and of the community it creates.

At the same time, FEATS is also a competitive theatre festival, as all of the productions are critically watched by an invited adjudicator, in our case: Ben Humphrey, who appraised all 12 productions, and on the last night, handed out the festival awards.

At the end of the festival, the Hamburg Players handed over the baton to AATG (Anglo-American Theatre Group) from The Hague, who will host FEATS from 22 to 25 May 2026.

FEATS 2025 in Hamburg was supported by ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS, Hapag-Lloyd Stiftung, and Mara und Holger Cassens-Stiftung
