Touring Company at Players Theatre

We are pleased to offer our stage to Broken Cloud Theatre Company who bring a dark musical comedy to Nantwich on 31 March and 1 April at 8pm.

Hitler Killed My Canary is the story of a British Tommy who imagines himself back home in a bombed out British city where his father’s obsession with Music Hall turns every tragedy into dark farce.

Tickets available now from Nantwich Tourist Office.

Richard Wilson joins our Campaign

We are thrilled to have the support of Richard Wilson in our fund-raising for the Nantwich Theatre Project. He is currently starring as Malvolio in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Twelfth Night. Some of the cast of our own production (starting 19 February) went to see him perform in Stratford.

HOLLY HOLY DAY

Our traditional role is to perform a short play based on the situation in Nantwich at the time of the Battle in 1644. This year there was a cast of 15 and one very special character – a bear who has to be held by ropes and chains.

The Trial of Willie Young ended with acquittal for Willie and a spell in the stocks for the inn-keeper who couldn't keep his bear under control.
