Happy
new year to you.
Moving on
from last Novembers production of Norman Robbins' thriller: At
the sign of 'The Crippled Harlequin' in which the producer, Christine
Keller had to step into the limelight at short notice to take on the part of
Isobel Clarke and which also featured an impressive performance by our
newest member Paul Kelly playing the part of hotel guest Derek Tyndale. Not
to mention sterling performances from established members Christine Slater,
Sam Keller, Carol Jewel, Angela Last, Alf Blunden and Nick Sparkes.
Rehearsals
have recently started for our March production of 'The Ex Factor' which is a
hilarious farce by our
favourite playwright Ian Hornby. Rehearsals for this production will take
place each Thursday evening from 7.30pm. Please feel free to come along, enjoy the
fun and meet new friends.
Martin
Coleman
It is with
much sadness that we have to report that Martin lost his fight with cancer
in December. Martin was born in the same year as the Drayton Players were
founded. And has been an active member since his childhood. Our stage will
seem an emptier place without him. We dedicate this next production to his
memory.
How would you like to
join us and extend your social circle and hobbies?
You don't have to be an actor, there are many
other ways you can be involved as a member. Enjoy the pleasure of being
creative in set building, scenic design, stage management, or front of
house, and enjoy the social side of being a member.
Come on, we all had to start somewhere. Age
is no barrier. All you have to do is contact us. We are very proud that the
Drayton Players have been
entertaining local audiences for the past 63 years!
