The English Drama Group Salzburg is the logical offspring of the English Drama Group University of Salzburg. Having finished their studies at the university, many members still had close ties to the Drama Group and wanted to continue to participate in our productions. On the other hand, new members have come on board giving new impetus to the project. This combination of old and new members gives each production a unique individual quality, which our audiences have come to appreciate.

Under the coordination and direction of Ilse Lackenbauer, the group has presented various productions over the last 15 years, all of which were well received by the public. Some projects went on tour, like our Shakespearian highlight of 1999 "The Winter’s Tale", which travelled as far as Weimar and Passau in Germany. Other productions and co-productions such as Chamber Music (2002), The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole (2005) and After Juliet (2007) won prizes. After so many successful years, Ilse Lackenbauer decided it was time to take a graceful bow and handed over the group to Michael Darmanin, her assistant and mainstay of the group for over 12 years.
