About Company B

Company B has been formed especially for this year’s Welwyn Drama Festival, bringing together new and not so new members of the Company of Ten in St Albans. We’re thrilled to be taking part in the Festival and look forward to many more theatrical outings together. Our contribution to the Festival is a home-grown play that addresses many of the concerns arising from the present economic difficulties here in Britain and further afield in Europe and North America, and asks: how bad could it really get?
