Cranford
Cranford is a play full of the idiosyncratic detail of life in a rural village where etiquette rules. There is a healthy amount of gossip through which the ideals of gentility and propriety of the women of Cranford are shown with great comic effect.
We see the sweet pleasures and sometimes heart-breaking realities of simple village life of the era. But Cranford’s unique, predominately female, society is thrown into disarray as modernity encroaches in the form of a new railway line and the men that its planning brings.
This cracking modern adaptation by Laura Turner of what is essentially a Victorian soap opera, is full of humour and humanity and illuminates how people of any era cope with adversity and change. It promises to be a truly delightful evening of entertainment.
Tickets are available at Back of Beyond Books and TicketSource for Cranford and for our June production of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest”. -

Hard work and camaraderie!
Established in 1971, ‘Sedgefield Players’ is a vibrant and enthusiastic award winning amateur drama group based in the Northeast of England. Meeting twice every week on a Wednesday and Sunday at 7:30pm in the Parish Hall, Sedgefield, we are able to manage a full and varied schedule to keep every member feel included and involved.
We produce two full adult productions per year and a high tech and exciting pantomime, plus the odd review or’ Murder Mystery’ night, as the occasion calls.
We also run our own week-long drama festival in September, participate in both local and national drama festivals, run the Sedgefield Players Youth Section (SPYS) and present a SPYS production in the summer. All of our productions may include music, dance, song or just plain drama, be it comedy or tragedy.
Above all, we are a group of people of all ages and backgrounds who have fun together and also manage to find time to have the occasional night out at the theatre, party or barbecue.
Although a good many of us have been members for over 30 years, we always welcome and need new members, not necessarily those who want to act, but for all aspects of theatre – technical, costume, properties, scene shifting or just coming to share the fun. We aim to make everyone feel included. Come along any Wednesday or Sunday to watch before you decide.
Anybody is welcome to come along and see what we do without the need to sign up.
