So with our first season of post-pandemic shows behind us we can
safely say that your players are back! Our November / December production of Eric
Chappells' comedy
'Haywire' was a great success. The audience certainly enjoyed it! If you
would like to see more information about the show and some pictures taken during
the production, then click here
It has recently been a bit of an issue trying to find plays that we can
cast with our limited number of acting members. This is something you may be
able to help us with perhaps? If not, there are many
other ways you can be involved in our productions. We really need a good scenic
artist and a set designer to come onboard, but if painting is not your virtue, you could be
creative in many other ways like set building, lighting, stage management, or front of
house, even book-keeping? Come on, we all had to start somewhere. Age
is no barrier. All you have to do is contact us.
Sadly we lost one of our long standing
members, Dean Bolton, during the Pandemic. We dedicated our recent production
of 'Love, Lies and the Doctors
Dilemma' to the memory of Dean.
So what's next for us?
We haven't chosen a play for our next production yet, however, which ever
one we choose is very likely to be aired in May 2024.
There are a few plays that we would like
to do, but for various reasons each one of these scripts has its own issues
to overcome foirst. As our audience, if you can suggest anything you feel
you would like us to produce, then please contact us.
The group has been performing twice yearly (or
sometimes more) since 1949.We are
immensely proud that the
Drayton Players have been
entertaining local audiences since 1949. So 2024 will be our 75th
birthday!
