This Production

The casting of this play brings together a number of talents from across the local area.
Over the years, since we started touring productions in 1993, our community plays have aimed to forge links between local actors and dramatic societies, as well as to satisfy a need for the presentation of local history in an enjoyable and accessible form.
Some of our members in this production are working together for the first time, others have 'been here before'. May the links we have forged grow ever stronger!

The action of the play lasts about 2 hours with one interval of 10 minutes.
