The Players have now embarked on their latest production which will be presented at the Dolphin Hotel on October 19^th, 20^th and 21^st.

We are pleased to announce that we have a new director who is willing to take on this unruly bunch and continue the 50 year tradition of putting on entertainment for the people of Bovey Tracey. Simon Mathews is a new member of the Players who has been involved in drama for a long time and now wants to take the overall responsibility of directing. Some of our regular followers may well have seen him perform in our most recent production of ‘Family Spirit’ in May, where he played someone who had died!

‘Never Mind the Butler’ is a comedy about an upper class family in a big house, where the entire estate has been gambled away (again!) by His Lordship. This is of course, of great concern to his disjointed family, and the search is on for an heir with lots of money who can buy the estate back again from One-Eyed, One Balled Big Bob ‘The Cheat’ Mc Bruiser.

We have all enjoyed the drama and stories from Downton Abbey over the last few years, and this production is nothing like it! Probably best described as a spoof on period dramas, this will be a lot of fun, and will provide an entertaining evening for all – provided of course you have had the right upbringing!!
