ABOUT N-ACT THEATRE COMPANY

N-Act is a not-for-profit touring theatre company who specialise in delivering interactive performances to educational establishments, colleges and the wider community.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director and founder Dr Sharon Williams, the company’s motivation is to use the power of interactive theatre to entertain, to ignite curiosity, provoke thought, and to educate young people to enable them to make informed choices.

Through an interactive approach, the audiences have a greater emotional engagement with the topics and empathy with the characters. All performances have had a notable impact on the audiences, both in terms of the theatrical experience and a continuing dialogue with the audiences.

The N-Act team comprises professional actors with extensive experience of TV, film, theatre, script writing and backstage production with many successful workshops and performances in the wider community.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Shadow – Now Booking

Shadow is a play about consent, manipulation and the courage to stand up and be counted.

Throughout the performance – based on a true story – we share strategies to enable the audience to become empowered to make the right choice.

This is not just a play about how to say ‘no’. It is a play about fear of rejection, of not fitting in, and of survival – of both the perpetrator and the victim.

This production is suitable for year 9 upwards.

Sharon and the wonderfully creative N-Act team explore some tough topics that empower children to help themselves stay mentally well and physically safe.  I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
