Players

With the vaccine programme ramping up, we plan to continue to run zoom sessions until at least April, then hopefully we can at last meet up for some social interaction. Then we plan to start rehearsals from September for a November production which is looking far more promising now – we have some unfinished business here! We have completed The Egg recording and is now in post-production stage.

The current short term plan is to make two recordings: a Murder Mystery from Gloria and a new story from Andrew in April. These will be interspersed with Club Nights. All zoom calls start at 8.00pm, on the usual link below. If you did not have a chance to join any of our events over the past year, then look at the Events page where links to replays are available.

Shooting Shambles has been adapted by Gloria Kendrick. ‘Lord Albert Shrapnel is the owner of Shrapnel Castle. After the death of his father – and having had to pay onerous death duties – he has worked hard to bring the castle and estate back to its former glory. He is a gentleman of the old school – very upright, very old-fashioned and mindful of his responsibilities as Lord of the estate.’
