About the Thames & Charles Company

Equus was the third production of the Thames & Charles Company — a select unit of the American Management Seminars (AMS) at the University of Cologne. Theatre projects offered them an outlet (without credit in the regular curriculum) to develop "their associative powers and also their ability to think in a more interdisciplinary, holistic way", according to Executive Director Paul Drew-Bear. Besides complementing academic management eduction, AMS projects challlenged conventional methods of study at German public universities.
