A brief history of Headley Theatre Club . . .
Home pagePast PerformancesOriginal ConstitutionLatest ConstitutionReviewsList of OfficersList of Press Cuttings 1985-1992

The Headley Pageant of 1951

A village pageant was organised in 1951 to celebrate the Festival of Britain.
The success of this led directly to a second pageant in 1953 celebrating the Queen's Coronation, and also to the formation of Headley Theatre Club in 1952.

Objects of the Club

The prime object of the Club, as stated in our Original Constitution, is "To unite the village in good fellowship", and this we still strive to do.

What's in a name?

There was much criticism voiced at the time about the choice of name for this organisation – it was thought by some that the term 'Theatre Club' sounded too exclusive for a village amateur dramatic society . . . but it stuck.
Our first President: Stephen King-Hall

Stephen King-Hall was a well-known journalist, political commentator and playwright (see Wikipedia entry) who lived at Hartfield House, The Hanger, Headley.

He was Headley Theatre Club's first President, in 1952 and 1953. He was created Baron King-Hall of Headley in the County of Hampshire (Life Peer) on 15 January 1966. He died on 1 June 1966 and is buried at All Saints Headley (plot 24-40 in the long churchyard).

He wrote plays: 'The Middle Watch' (1930), 'The Midshipmaid' (1931), 'Admirals All' (1934) and 'Off the Record' (1947) – most were also made into films, the latter being adapted into 'Carry on Admiral' (1957). His plays were never performed in Headley – in 2024 we procured a script of 'Off the Record' and placed it in Headley Archives

Read his Lectures on Britain and the Future (1943) and United Europe (1948)
Hear him on Desert Island Discs in 1961.
