The Company

Aslan Productions was formed in 2003 by actor and director Ben Caplan and is a production company for Theatre and Film. It strives to produce work that engages, excites and challenges its audience. By bringing some of the best and most exciting talent together from the world of film and theatre it also allows new collaborations to come together and create. The hope is to act as a forum for new and exciting projects to develop and the subject matter always hopes to be relevant, current and reactionary.
