Diary update 31/07/2024

Thank you to all of you who came to our quiz night on 25th May, and to those who supported us at Taverham Fayre. Your support will help enable us to fund our next productions.

There is good news and bad news.... 

Firstly the bad news. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are no longer able to put on our planned show in September. 

Now the good news. With the success of the quiz night in May, we have decided to hold another one on September 28th. If you want to reserve a table for this, please complete this form.

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?

Well its our 75th Birthday this year!

As mentioned above, finding a suitable play that suits both our limited sized stage and our available acting members is always a challenge, so as our audience, if you can suggest a play that  you feel we could  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.
