About
Betty Nansen Teatret is a theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, named after the Danish actress Betty Nansen. It is located on Frederiksberg Allé in Frederiksberg, just outside the city centre, and it has built a repertoire that mixes classic plays with current productions.
What to expect on stage
The main house on Frederiksberg Allé presents classics interpreted in new ways, alongside newer work. The programme has included plays such as Faust, so a visit can mean seeing a familiar story staged with a fresh approach. The theatre also runs events beyond traditional drama, including the talk show Betty og Zetlands Talkshow.
A second stage
The theatre also operates a second stage called Edison, at Edisonsvej 10 in Frederiksberg. If you are planning a visit, check which stage your performance is in before you set out.
