Behind the Scenes

Every production involves plenty of ‘off stage’ drama — the show always goes on! Alongside acting, our members balance roles in set construction, props, costumes, makeup, bar service and box office. Long-serving members have even written plays performed by the group, including productions staged via Zoom during lockdown.

Beyond the stage, the Players enjoy a busy social calendar of garden parties, fancy dress evenings, treasure hunts, theatre trips and pub gatherings — where the stories of past and present, and the memories of funny mishaps or finger-biting dramas, often get told.
