One of the most exciting things about Nantwich Players Studio productions is the opportunity to discover and enjoy plays I’ve never seen before.
Eight by Ella Hickson is a thought-provoking production which consists of eight monologues, delivered by different characters and was written to offer a ‘state-of-the-nation group portrait of a generation which grew up amidst a consumerist boom.’

Our Town by Thornton Wilder is a play about life in the small town of Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire.
The play is set between 1901 and 1913, and with the use of narration from stage managers follows the lives of two residents who grow up, fall in love and get married.
