The Players production of ‘Radio Days! played to a capacity audience on May 19th at The Dolphin Hotel. The audience was able to enjoy ‘Dick Barton – Special Agent’, with some very misogynist comments from Dick himself and the delights of ‘Julian and Sandy’ from ‘Round the Horne’ An evening about 1950’s radio couldn’t pass […]

Looking at the cast photo I think we may have inspired JK to write her Potter books. As usual the Players are setting the pace.

The Owl and the Pussycat was a fun show to do, with lots of great costumes. That Plum Pudding Flea was superb.

Another variety show this time incorporating the Haytor area Players and finishing with a stalwart of the Players, Josephine Critchley on the accordion. Josephine provided the musical backing for many shows and Pantomimes.

Just a programme for this show, but item 3 looks a cracker – Sing-a-Long With Sid, the great late Sydney Weeks at the piano, we really don’t do it like that anymore.

Well this was a bit of a mixed bag and looking back just a bit cringy, if that’s a word, but we got away with it and the audience came back next year.

Ahh, what innocent days. A simple story and a good audience sing-along, still works for me.

We have no information for this production, what a shame, just how naughty were they?

Way Out West, written by Dorothy Davies – a long time member and starring Bev Davies, in the photo with Liz Wedden.

Limited information for this show, but a great picture. Liz Wedden, second from left, is still singing in a local choir.

Christmas Pie was, I think, the Players only Christmas musical show.

We have no information for this production, which is a shame as this was the Players first foray into the world of musical theatre. Look in your attic please.
