The premier on-going theatre company established by City Academy.

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 the November abridged production of the Shakespeare classic - The Tempest.

“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here!”

On a distant island, Prospero waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But Prospero is no ordinary man, and this is no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician with the ability to control the elements and bend nature to his will.

When a ship appears on the horizon, he soon discovers that it carries those who wronged him. With the help of his trusted servant Ariel, Prospero launches a vast magical storm that wrecks the ship and washes his enemies onto the shore. But when they awake, they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems...
