Jacob Wagen  is currently the Assistant Producer for Lee Menzies and also works part time for James Seabright Productions. He was one of the first three recipients of the Stage One Bursary Apprenticeship Scheme for New Producers in 2007, working for the Ambassador Theatre Group and Act Productions. Prior to this, he undertook an internship with Fuel and assisted with their five productions being presented as part of the British Council Showcase at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007. He has been employed at the new Unicorn Theatre for Children since it opened in 2005, during which time he also independently produced a number of projects including a workshop performance of a 'Shakespeare Development Project' at the Old Vic. In 2005 he facilitated the formation of Australian-based company x:machine for which he produced their first two productions from London. Jacob is also producing 'Keepers', the new show from The Plasticine Men, which is currently in development.

Sotirios Hatjoullis studied English Literature at Lancaster University and took his Masters at King's College London in Shakespeare Studies: Text & Playhouse, which also gave him the opportunity to study at Shakespeare's Globe. He subsequently took a six-month research internship with Globe Education, where he worked on the department's Read not Dead performances, reviving the plays of Shakespeare's often overlooked contemporaries. The Spanish Tragedy marks his producing debut.
