One of the most exciting things about Nantwich Players Studio productions is the opportunity to discover and enjoy plays I’ve never seen before.

A few years ago, more than I care to admit, I studied the Arthur Miller play “Death of a Salesman” at the old Dane Bank College in Crewe as part of my English A Level.
