About us

Essere Theatre was first established in 2012 as Oxford World Theatre; a UK-based theatre-in-education company active in projects all over the World.

Following Brexit and other life changes, Founder and Artistic Director Daniel Zappi moved to Prague where he renamed the company and shifted the project’s focus to include Teacher-training programs as well as Youth Theatre projects.

We work very closely with our sister organisation, The Chain Foundation, one of Europe's leading providers of cultural heritage and education programs for teachers and also offer bespoke script-packages for schools.
