ASHCAN THEATRE COMPANY

A Brief History

Welcome to the Ashcan Theatre Company website. We are East Kent’s premier small-scale theatre company. Founded in 2002 (see Brief History page for more detail) we aim to produce challenging, small cast, contemporary theatre with the highest possible standards of acting, direction and staging possible in intimate venues.

Latest News – After the success of our last Cafe Theatre production of “Duck Variations” by David Mamet at The Farmhouse in Canterbury last February (see Review link), we are ready to start rehearsals for our next show at the same in venue in early October.

We shall be staging Anton Chekhov’s hilarious short comedy “The Bear” in a version created by the acclaimed Irish playwright Brian Friel.

The show is being directed by Alan Pope and sees the welcome return of Mike Ayris in an Ashcan production in the role of Luka. Also making a return, in the role of Smirnov, is Mike Rivarno, last seen in “On An Average Day” in February 2009. Making her debut for Ashcan is Serena Sykes, who is playing the part of Elena Popova. For more details, go to the Forthcoming Productions page.

The show will be performed on Tuesday October 5th, Wednesday 6th, and Thursday 7th at The Farmhouse, 11 Dover Street, Canterbury CT1 3HD. The cost of tickets is £16.00, which as usual, includes the cost of a 2 Course meal. Doors open at 19.00hrs. Telephone 01227-456118 to reserve your table. As the seating capacity is limited, it is vital to pre-book your seat. For more details about events at The Farmhouse, log on to www.thefarmhousecanterbury.co.uk
