Our April production of
'Wife Begins At Forty' by Ray Cooney was a great success, with a
sell-out of tickets on one night! If you came to see it, we hope you enjoyed
it. The good news is, for our next production, we will be revisiting another Ray Cooney play for you.
One we last aired in 2008. It entitled ' There Goes The Bride' and is
equally hilarious in its well engineered plot. Ray Cooney was indeed a very
talented play-write.
Photos from our last
production of 'Wife begins at 40' are now available. The play is fast becoming a distant memory, so if you want to remind yourself about it, and view some pictures taken during
the production, then click here. Photos from Wife Begins at Forty will be available soon.
It has recently been a bit of an issue trying to find plays that we can
cast with our limited number of acting members. But the good news is that we
have recently welcomed several new acting members to our group. Mark, Will,
Amy and Katie, you're very welcome! If you're thinking of joining us, we would
gladly welcome you into our happy gang. Even if acting is not your thing, we really need a
carpenter, a scenic
artist and a set designer to join our happy crew. But if D.I.Y. is also not your
thing, there are many other ways to be involved, like stage management,
lighting, or front of house?
Come on, we all had to start somewhere.
If you feel you can help, please call us or contact us.
So what's next for us?
We will start
rehearsals for 'There Goes the Bride' in August. A big thank you goes to
Drayton Scout Group for lending us your hut for our rehearsals. We are also
planning another quiz night in September (date to be confirmed).
The group has been performing twice yearly,
sometimes more, or sometimes less, since 1949. We are
immensely proud that the
Drayton Players have been
entertaining local audiences for over 75 years!
