SMOOTH FACED GENTLEMEN
Following the success of Romeo & Juliet at the Buxton Fringe, the troupe of all female players has grown in size with four new actors and a large number of technical supporting members. For 2013 the players are staging a very red paint soaked Titus Andronicus. The announcement of this production has been well received by the media and rehearsals are well under way. Ashlea is a founding member of the troupe.
