Our friends at GEDS are very busy this spring, with two shows in the works.
First one is Hamlet: draft I, written and directed by Gary Bird. This is a one-act playlet which GEDS will present at the Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies (FEATS) in The Hague. Before that, there will be two performances in Geneva, on May 8th and 9th at 20h, at the Petit Theatre Onex Parc. You can get tickets here.

The second show is Late Company, by Jordan Tannahill, directed by Chuck Slovenski, which will be performed at Le Manège from the 18th to the 23rd of May. Tickets will open on the 18th April, and GEDS is offering GAOS member an early-bird discount, valid until the 3rd of May. Code is GAOS2026.
Since its debut in Toronto in 2013, Late Company has been consistently staged across Canada, on the West End, and further abroad to reviews that cite its power and honesty.
One year after a harrowing, life-changing event, five people gather for a dinner party. Perhaps they really did come together with the best intentions, but accusations soon start to fly. Who, if anyone, is responsible for what happened? Blame passes from one person to the next, and it is a lot easier to blame someone else than to face up to their questions. Or your own.
