4Play Theatre Company
4Play Theatre Company was originally formed by a group of aspiring actors and performers who were unable to find enough opportunities to satisfy their striving needs. Undaunted by the lack of prospects, instead they created 4Play Theatre Company in order for them to gain as much experience as they could of working in the theatre at a professional standard, through performance, stagecraft and administration.
This means that the members of 4Play are not only responsible for the acting of the piece they choose, but also for any technical, financial, marketing, directing requirements.
Now in it’s 10th year, 4Play finds itself with a completely new set of members of varying ages and backgrounds, keen to throw themselves into creating engaging and challenging theatre.

4Play are set to return to the stage on Wednesday 20th January to Saturday 23rd January 2010 with their latest production: A Number by Caryl Churchill.
A young man’s life is suddenly shattered when he discovers that he could be one of a number of genetic clones. Part psychological thriller, part topical scientific speculation, this intense one act play is an analysis of the father - son relationship, revealing the consequences of delinquent parenting during a child’s formative years. A fathers decision to use his son's DNA in order to "get it right" with the next child, puts the nature versus nurture question under the microscope. Set in the near future, Caryl Churchill asks the age old questions of identity, guilt, redemption and revenge. Using humour, sharp observation of human relationship and unabating suspense, this play is exhilaratingly original.
Tickets are £9 / £7.50 concessions and there will be an after show discussion on the Thursday evening.
