At UK Productions, Quality Production and Storytelling are never separate - they are woven together with care, ambition and precision, combining striking design, powerful performances and meticulous craftsmanship to create theatrical experiences that captivate your audiences and elevate your stage.
Theatre Productions
From critically acclaimed drama praised by The Telegraph and The Scotsman to award-winning pantomimes recognised at the UK Pantomime Awards - including Best Lighting, Best Sound and Best Comic - our work reflects a consistent commitment to excellence in storytelling, performance and production.
Pantomimes
Extraordinary people are the soul of our work - our directors, creatives, makers and technical teams bringing warmth, experience and unwavering passion to every detail, shaping bold ideas with care and quality into unforgettable live moments on your stage.
About us
Some of the most powerful storytelling happens in the detail, the texture of a set wall, the weight of a prop in an actorโs hand, the way a space transforms in front of an audience. Our workshops and production teams build sets and props with precision, pride and a deep understanding of what theatre demands.
Whether weโre producing for our own shows or supporting partner organisations, we create work thatโs designed to be used, toured, handled, struck, rebuilt and still look exceptional under stage lighting.
Alongside our in-house builds, UK Productions offers prop and set hire for theatres, touring companies and events across the UK. Our hire stock is curated with quality in mind, pieces that look the part on stage, work practically in real-world performance, and arrive ready to support your story.
Production Hire
From the first draft to the final curtain, our work is defined by meticulous craft, exceptional scripts, standout casting, dynamic choreography, striking design, and technical excellence throughout. Itโs this consistency, ambition and attention to detail that has earned the trust of leading venues across the UK, and why UK Productions creativity doesnโt just fill seats: it elevates the season.
Production Hire
We work in partnership with theatres, producers, creative teams, and venues nationwide and worldwide, bringing experience, scale, and a calm, professional approach to every production. Whether weโre touring drama, delivering pantomime, or supporting with set and prop services, weโre proud to be known for quality, reliability, and the kind of collaboration that makes work feel possible.
Production Hire
Whether youโre looking for a production partner, planning a pantomime season, or sourcing sets and props with real craft behind them, weโd love to hear from you.

Aylesbury, the line-up is set. โจ
This is the company waiting for you at the Waterside Theatre this Christmas, and Sleeping Beauty is shaping up to be a proper night out.
Laura Main brings the magic as Fairy Snowfall, much loved as Shelagh Turner in Call the Midwife and swapping Poplar for the palace. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Facing her across the spell is Jordan Lee Davies as Carabosse, fresh from Les Miserables and Chicago and ready to give Aylesbury a villain worth every single boo. ๐ค
Aylesbury`s very own Andy Collins is back where he belongs as Lester the Jester, because Christmas at the Waterside simply does not start until the BBC Three Counties breakfast host is on that stage causing chaos. ๐คช
West End star and panto legend Leon Craig returns as our Dame, Nanny Nora, with a frock budget we are still recovering from, and Milkshake!`s David Ribi is Prince Vincent, charming enough to wake anyone from a hundred year nap. ๐
Spinning wheels, wicked spells, glorious silliness and a Prince worth waiting for. Sleeping Beauty opens at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on Friday 4 December. ๐ญ

Anchors aweigh... the Captain is making an entrance. ๐ชโจ
You have met them already, but Miss Rory as Captain Hook and Tom Whalley as Smee are back on your feed and up to no good. Press play. We are saying nothing more. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐
Nautical and naughty, this pair have Sunderland well and truly on their hook, line and sinker. Add Bradley Riches as Pan and The Further Adventures of Peter Pan is shaping up to be the biggest splash of the season.

Blackpool, meet your Jack and Jill! ๐ฑโจ
We are thrilled to announce that Louis Hearsey will play Jack Trott and Ruth Betteridge will play Jill Pickle at the Blackpool Grand Theatre this Christmas in Jack and the Beanstalk.
Louis joins us fresh from playing J.D. in Heathers The Musical, so he arrives with serious leading man credentials. Don`t worry, Blackpool... he`s swapping the dark side of the high school corridor for a giant`s castle, and this time he`s very much one of the good guys. ๐ซ
And Ruth needs no introduction to panto fans. She picked up the award for Best Secondary Lead at this year`s Pantomime Awards for her turn in our very own Jack and the Beanstalk, so who better to bring Jill Pickle to life on the Grand stage? Award-winning talent, straight to the Golden Mile. ๐
Together they`ll be taking on giants, magic beans and one very stubborn cow, alongside Steve Royle, Lisa George, Ben Harlow and Shaun Dalton in what is shaping up to be a cracking Christmas at @grandtheatrebpl.
Fee, fi, fo, fum... this one is going to be enormous. ๐
Tag someone who needs to be in that audience with you! ๐๐ญ

Malvern, meet your Aladdin! ๐ชโจ
We are thrilled to announce that Sev Keoshgerian will be taking on the title role in this year`s spectacular production of Aladdin at Malvern Theatres.
Royal Academy of Music trained and fresh from turns in Little Miss Sunshine, The Rocky Horror Show and Pop Off, Michelangelo! at the Edinburgh Fringe, Sev arrives with the charm, the voice and the mischief this street-rat-turned-prince absolutely demands. ๐ถ
He`ll be causing chaos alongside Mark James as Wishee Washee and the fabulous Bunny Galore as Widow Twankey... and doing his very best to keep out of the clutches of Tristan Gemmill`s wicked Abanazar. ๐
One lamp, three wishes and a whole lot of magic. Malvern, your Christmas just got a whole lot more wonderful. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Aladdin | Malvern Theatres | Opens Thursday 10 December ๐

Blackpool... something wicked is climbing the beanstalk. ๐ฑ
@shaunypd76 is joining the cast of Jack and the Beanstalk at the @grandtheatrebpl as the villainous Fleshcreep, and he is coming to collect for the Giant. ๐
Shaun is no stranger to a big stage. He has terrorised the West End as Factory Foreman and cover Javert in Les Misรฉrables at the Queen`s Theatre, created the role of Gerhard in Eugenius! and toured the country in Kinky Boots and Beauty and the Beast. Now he is bringing all of that menace to the seaside, and Simon, Jill and Dame Trott had better watch their backs. ๐ญ
Will Jack and the good folk of Blackpool send him packing, or will Fleshcreep get his hands on the golden goose? There is only one way to find out... and you`ll need every boo and hiss you`ve got.

Bath, something magical is heading to Theatre Royal Bath this Christmas... โจ
We are delighted to announce that Shani Cantor (@shaniann123) will be sprinkling a little sparkle over the @theatreroyalbath1805 stage as the one and only Fairy Bon Bon in Beauty and the Beast! ๐น
Actress, singer and dancer Shani joins us fresh from a summer at Chichester Festival Theatre in My Fair Lady, and she is ready to swap Edwardian London for a world of enchanted roses, wicked spells and enough glitter to light up the whole of Somerset. ๐ซ
Every great panto needs a good fairy, and Fairy Bon Bon is the one keeping Belle safe, keeping Louis in line and keeping the whole of Bath on side. Expect warmth, wit and a wand that means business. ๐ช
Beauty and the Beast opens on Thursday 10 December at Theatre Royal Bath. Christmas just got a whole lot sweeter. ๐ญ

Villainy takes practice, and who better to teach it than the ship`s most loyal first mate? ๐ Miss Rory (@missroryblvd) is back as Captain Hook in The Further Adventures of Peter Pan, and before she takes to the Sunderland Empire stage she`s had a crash course from Tom Whalley`s (@thetomwhalley) Smee in the art of the perfect evil laugh. Did it work? You be the judge... ๐ญ Get ready to boo, hiss and hide your treasure this Christmas, because the most dastardly captain on the seven seas is sailing back into Sunderland. Which evil laugh gets your vote: Hook`s or Smee`s? ๐

Bath, get ready to fall head over heels this Christmas! ๐นโจ We are absolutely thrilled to announce that West End leading lady Amelia Adams is joining us at Theatre Royal Bath as Belle in this year`s Beauty and the Beast!
A true leading lady of the West End and UK touring stage, Amelia`s career reads like a dream: Mrs Wormwood in the international tour of Matilda, Grace Farrell in Annie, Lois Lane in Kiss Me Kate and Mary Delgado in Jersey Boys, to name a few. Now she`s bringing that glorious voice and warmth to the Beast`s castle, ready to prove that true love really can break any spell. ๐ฐ๐ถ
Will Belle`s kindness win the day? There`s only one way to find out this December... Who`s coming with you? ๐
