""I've been in Germany now for a total of 15 years, which is bonkers. I couldn't even speak German when I came over.""
""I studied English and philosophy in college, but I was massively interested in theatre. I did a master's in modern theatre studies because I wanted to work in theatre, but that's really hard to break into in Ireland.""
""I became a teacher, and I was good at it, and I loved it. But then, before I knew it, about eight years had gone by, and I suddenly had this panic in my stomach.""
""I realised one day I'd wake up, I'd be 50, and still teaching.""
Caroline Staunton relocated to Germany 15 years ago without knowing the language. She studied English and philosophy in college and pursued a master's in modern theatre studies, driven by her passion for theatre. Despite her success and enjoyment in teaching, she experienced a realization after eight years that she might remain in that role indefinitely, prompting her to seek a career in theatre instead.
