Our most recent production was...We were thrilled to bring you the amazing comedy thriller, Patrick Barlow's adaptation of John Buchan's THE 39 STEPS
Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 39 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented small cast), an onstage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance! In The 39 Steps, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organisation called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a (nearly) death-defying finale! The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!

And our Previous shows? Well..
2012 saw our debut production, Jim Cartwright's The Rise and Fall of Little Voice; we followed that up in May 2013 with the fantastic Adler and Ross musical comedy The Pajama Game. Next was the comedy thriller by Ira Levin - Deathtrap. Our first 18 months as a company were certainly busy, and we didn't shirk from a challenge when we chose to stage Mel Brooks' fabulous musical comedy The Producers. Wow! That was fun for cast, crew and audience!
Five months later, we found ourselves in a new venue, the magnificent Buscot Park Theatre, for a zany Alan Ayckbourn play, Improbable Fiction. Record breaking costume changes and record breaking audiences ... all three shows were sold out a month before opening night!
2015 started with our auditions and rehearsals for Stephen Sondheim's fabulous musical, Into the Woods. Show week came and went and oh my, what a fabulous time we had - it was 'Perfect'!
And then it was time for a bit of comedy ...nothing better than Michael Frayn's outstanding comedy Noises Off - probably our hardest show to datel. Who can resist a nice plate of sardines.......!
In 2016 we joined the Lord family for the wedding of the year, and truly had a swell party ...High Society was our most successful show to date.

Moving away from the glamour of Oyster Bay we headed to a northern pub, for a production of Jim Cartwright's 'Two' at Buscot Park Theatre. What an amazing production ... one night, one pub, 14 characters, two actors.
In 2017, our fifth year, we produced our 10th show SWEENEY TODD: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Stephen Sondheim's award winning musical We also staged our very first open air performance of The Importance of Being Earnest and finished the year with a bang and the comedy musical Spamalot

Our 2018 programme started with a fabulous modern comedy, A Bunch of Amateurs, written by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman. We had such fun being The Stratford Players and trying to perform King Lear! The autumn saw us playing another bunch of theatre makers, in the fabulous Gershwin musical, CRAZY FOR YOU . High energy dancing, beautiful ballads and a lot of laughs - who could ask for anything more!
