Theatre NO99 |
Stephens/Nübling/Semper
Three Kingdoms, directed by Sebastian Nübling, has been a success in Munich. Very critical German theatre critics have thumbs up. They find the production funny and serious, well organized and chaotic, interesting and diverse. Many good words about NO99 actors, whom they find very powerful, fresh, vital and at top of its game.

Estonian art director Ene-Liis Semper. German music designer Lars Wittershagen. And from NO99, Münchner Kammerspiele and from London. Three Kingdoms is all of them.

Theatre NO99 was founded in 2004 and produced its first play in 2005. The theatre has a permanent 11-member troupe of actors. Three to four new plays are produced each season. Tiit Ojasoo-Ene-Liis Semper and the troupe often cooperate to create plays by improvising scenes and texts using the ideas of the directors as reference points. The play ultimately takes shape through these improvisations. Such plays figure prominently in the theatre’s repertoire
In recent years, several productions have been notably successful internationally: they have participated in almost thirty reputable international festivals, including Wiener Festwochen, Cut & Paste 2 (HAU, Berlin), Baltic House (St. Petersburg), Politik im Freien Theater (Cologne), auawirleben (Berne), KONTAKT (Torun, Poland), Teatterikesä in Tampere (Tampere Theatre Festival), and so on.
Tiit Ojasoo and Ene-Liis Semper
Have been working together as directors for the past eight years. During that period, they have brought 13 productions to the stage. Together they are the founders, creative directors and the only in-house directors of NO99 Theatre. They have repeatedly earned awards for Estonia’s best director, best stage production and best stage designer. |
Noises Off! |
Odéon! Munich! |
Frayn / Ojasoo / Semper
Farce, believe it or not
The comedy "Noises Off!" by Michael Frayn is being produced by Tiit Ojasoo and Ene-Liis Semper. Although internationally so far known mostly for their political productions, they have produced Albee, Shakespeare, McDonagh and other well-known authors as well. This time it's Frayn's turn.
"The "Noises Off!" by Theatre NO99 has the same number of different layers as the manual training of an ax."

Yes. It's true. We were in Paris. We gave six performances with "How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare" in Odéon Theatre.
It went very well. The critics were supporting. According to them there has been rarely the chance to see so political performance with so great actors.

Our second hit production will perform abroad as well.
