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.
