After last years success with ASBOy, The Ashton Group’s ground breaking Apprenticed Actors Company returned with a new production.

ICE BABY is a funny and fast paced contemporary play inspired by true stories of teenaged parents. ICE BABY bristles with spiky energy, glistens with just a sprinkling of fairy tale magic and is guaranteed to get you talking.



The Apprenticed Actors Company is an initiative to give young people from Furness their first experience of working in professional theatre.

CAST

Andrew Denison Gaz, Tysse, Stinkrot, Police 2
