With weekly rehearsals and regular performances throughout the year, The Actors Company aims to be one of the most exciting contemporary groups in London. It enables you to participate in theatre productions which fit around your working life.

The company uses new writing, devising, and one act plays that offer all members of the cast creative challenges. Auditions are currently open for their June and November productions.

The June production will be Buckets by Adam Barnard - Buckets is play about time, with 33 interconnected scenes it offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in different roles and characters. Book your audition now to take part!

“Adam Barnard’s kaleidoscopic, darkly playful and witty piece muses on our human awareness that time is always running out in a series of interconnected scenes that range from the absurdist and fantastical to sudden jabs of painfully direct feeling.” – Paul Taylor, Independent

“Similar in its DNA to Caryl Churchill's Love and Information... Buckets is a freewheeling series of vignettes on the subject of death... Exuberant, likeable and snappy...winningly absurdist... it will make you feel better about your own mortality.” - Time Out
