The Asylum Players are a brand new “in-house,” semi-professional theatre company. Working exclusively with The Blue Room in Lincoln, the company is formed of local actors of all ages and backgrounds, who share a love of theatre and performance.
We tell stories. Each year The Asylum Players will put on a season of three shows, drawing from the best theatrical talent Lincoln and Nottingham has to offer. Our shows will be challenging, ambitious and accessible.
To entertain you and to enjoy ourselves. Theatre should never bore, it should simply entertain. If you enjoy the shows, then we know we’ve done a good job. If everyone involved with the production enjoys themselves then we give you a better show. It ain’t rocket science.
Absolutely. The Asylum Players are a family. We don’t do egos and we don’t do politics. Everyone who joins our “production family;” actors, directors, musicians, stage-hands, front-of-house, does so to work hard and enjoy their time with us. If you think you’d like to get involved give us a shout on enquiries@asylumplayers.co.uk or keep an eye out for the latest audition news.
We will be coordinating with the LPAC over the coming days, to communicate with all ticket holders. Of course, if you can't make these dates, you will be entitled to a refund, or transfer, but it would be wonderful to see you all in October so, on behalf of the cast, I hope you'll consider holding on to your ticket and coming to see us WHEN we are back up and running.
Thank you to all our audiences and we WILL see you again soon.
Stay safe and be good to each other – The Blue Room and The Asylum Players.
The Asylum Players present: Private Lives by Noel Coward.
“Sollocks darling! … Sollocks!”
Some couples may bicker. Some couples might argue. Some couples even fight. Elyot and Amanda can show them all how it’s done. Private Lives, Noel Coward’s famous comedy of manners, set in the 1930s, follows two couples on, what can only be described as, the honeymoon from hell. Ex-husbands, ex-wives and assault with a vinyl record, turn what should be the happiest night of both couples lives, into a night of absolute…well…Sollocks.

The Asylum Players present: Othello by William Shakespeare.
“Men should be what they seem.”
Shakespeare’s enduring tale of love, betrayal and tragedy comes to The Blue Room. Given a contemporary setting but using Shakespeare’s original text, this production is the story of a great man deceived and betrayed by the people closest to him.
Othello has fought for his country, for his friends and the woman he loves. He has bested impossible odds and risen in a society that deems him less that those around him by dint of the colour of his skin. Iago, seemingly his closest friend, will bring his accomplishments crashing down for jealousy’s sake.
