Down the Rabbit Hole (DTRH) was established in 2016, with our first professional site-specific production Elsie and Norm’s ‘Macbeth’ and hosting the internationally-recognized guest production of Breakneck Hamlet.

In February 2017, DTRH presented Venus in Fur at our new venue on the top floor of Huset:KBH, under the shared-platform House of International Theatre. Hereby, we also collaborated on presenting Det Kolde Bord in their first English version; Playmate Theatre Malmo’s Talking Heads; and a mini-international festival for Cph Stage, presenting international guest productions of The Stronger (Brazil) and the contemporary opera Mozart and Salieri (Great Britain). The shared platform also presented staged-readings, warm up events and a laboratory for international artists to network and create new projects with local artists.

In 2017-18, DTRH continued our collaboration with the shared platform and produced the devised piece A Patriot’s Guide to America, a comedy based on the work of Anton Chekhov called Vanya, Sonja, Masha and Spike, and an experimental physical theatre performance The Urban Hunt, about how far one might go in order to eat meat. Under the shared platform, we also continued to develop programs such as, HIT for Kids, warm ups and a stage-reading series.

In 2018-19, we ventured out on our own and returned to our roots of doing innovative theatre in unique locations. We focused this season on developing a trilogy of work by the English playwright Harold Pinter. The first production was an immersive theatre version of Party Time, directed by Michael Wighton, followed by a co-production with Manusarts to present a genderswapping version of The Lover.

The 2019-20 season, saw our first venue collaboration with Krudttønden and then later with Matrikel 1. We started by co-producing together with Manuarts, the American comedy The Clean House, by Sarah Ruhl. Followed by our gay holiday monologue The Santaland Diaries, and finished our Pinter Trilogy with Old Times. We also hosted the guest productions of Last Tango in Little Grimley; Glad Teater’s Your Eyes, My Sight; Smil Belinda, along with a workshop by Delia Trice; and an online digital theatre project bringing together 6 playwrights from throughout Europe to collaborate on create innovative digital theatre diaries.

The 2020-21 season started with a series of staged-readings and a collaboration with the italian artists Delia Trice and Copenhagen Pride. We then went together with Bøssehuset (The Gay House) in Christiania to create a season of LGBTQ+ inclusive theatre. We started with the double bill of The Shy Manifesto, starring Daniel Niel Ash and Harry Clarke, and followed by Southern Bedfellows, directed by Christopher Berdal. This season also saw a return to a mini-international festival for CphStage, where we presented Moira Finucane’s The Rapture (AU) and Ferrodo Bridges’ The White Plague(UK), along with a remount of our successful Shy Manifesto. 

Our 2021-22 season, kicked off with a bang by us helping to establish a brand new festival for queer theatre, Cph Queer. The festival was a collaboration between Lars Werner and DTRH’s  artistic director Jeremy M. Thomas, together with Folketeatret and World Pride and Eurogames 2021, with performances at Folketeatret, The Danish Royal Theatre and throughout the city during World Pride. This was followed by our sold out performances of Berghain, which was double-billed with Feminine Octagon, both performing at Bøssehuset, and The Money Shot, which premiered at Folketeatret and will be remounted at Krudttønden in May, 2022.
