Rag City Productions Ltd is a brand new company set up in March 2017 by Ashleigh Aston, Adaya Henry and Edward Loboda. Our aim is to promote professional theatre in the West Midlands. We have a strong focus on collaborating with local writers to develop new work as well as pushing boundaries with existing plays. Alongside our public theatre performances, we also offer small scale tours across a range of settings including schools, care homes and community venues. Check out our What's On page for info on what we've got in development!
