2009 The Price To Pay

David Wilson directed our spring production, a thriller called “The price to pay”. This play was entered into the South Devon Drama Federation Festival and the wash-up evening was a great success with a very high standard from all entries. The Players recieved two nominations for best supporting actor – James Harper and Darren Parr, […]

2008 Blue Remembered Hills

The Players’ Autumn production for 2008 was ‘Blue Remembered Hills’ by Dennis Potter, presented in the Town Hall at the end of October. Set in the Westcountry in the Summer of 1943, it is the story of seven children – convincingly played by adults! Juliet’s creative direction allowed the audience to immerse themselves in the […]

2008 Outside Edge

We have Nigel Gillingham to thank for the Spring production. Due to unforeseen circumstances we could not put on Farenheit and Celsius as originally planned so Nigel bravely stepped in and offered to direct Outside Edge by Richard Harris, and what a success it was! A real ‘bums on seats’ comedy; Outside Edge attracted an […]

2007 Bouncers

Bouncers was our Autumn production for 2007 and our entry into the SDDF festival. All four actors received nominations for best supporting actor, Mark Godwin, David Cartwright, Michael Geldard and the eventual winner, Sean Arberry. Well done to all and of course to the Director, Juliet harper.

2006 Crosswords

Three one act plays, very different in style but with a linking theme of confusion, loss and distress, caused by words, spoken and unspoken. The Monkey’s Paw is a creepy tale of avarice, curses and ghosts, a warning to us all to be happier with our lot. Early Blight, a short play from the Deckchairs […]

2005 The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe

LWW, as it became to be known, had nearly sixty people in the cast/crew list although the actual number of people involved was nearer to seventy. Enough white muslin to go around the world twice was used to create the winter wonderland of Narnia, director Juliet Harper and a cast of thirty created a little […]

2004 Ten Times Table

Ten Times Table. For a better view of the programme right click your mouse and use the zoom, I will try for a better copy later. A super picture of the cast, clearly enjoying their costumes, or someone has just fallen over at the back of the hall.

2003 Two For One

As you can see from the programme, if you look closely, Two for One had a combined cast of nineteen, pretty good for two one act plays. I cant find a review so if you would like to submit a retrospective review then go to contacts and e-mail me. I have a vague memory of […]

2001 Wait Until Dark

Wait until Dark, then set trip wires and carry a big stick. This production earned us another award, for best visual presentation, and nominations in three other categories as well as introducing four new members to the Players.

2000 Sweeney Todd

This programme is difficult to read, but you can right click your mouse and use the zoom. If you have any more photos please let me know, especially if they show all that luvverly red blood spilling across the stage. Director Judy Leigh should be proud of this play as it attracted nominations in many […]

1997 Gasping

Gasping, a play where salesmen sell the air we breath, by Ben Elton, was Mark Neal’s first foray into directing. A brave choice – having some difficult to stage scenes in a massage parlour and squash court, scenes that some professional companies leave out. Gasping was a great success and under Mark’s direction the actors […]

1995 The Proposal

Although we don’t archive our performances at Festivals this one I think is worth a mention.

1995 The Exorcism
