Two Funny By Half - A double bill of comedies
A double bill of comedies by Craig Robb and David Tristram
Cheriton Players are presenting a double bill of comedies under the heading of Two Funny By Half: the first, Grave Concerns, takes a light hearted laugh at the serious business of life and death. Mark is on a family holiday in a villa by a beautiful Italian lake but learns something that could really dampen the mood. Can he avoid disaster by replaying the past? Sometimes, saving a life can be murder… with amusing and unexpected consequences.
In complete contrast, over in Little Grimley, membership of the local amateur drama society has dwindled to four. Time for dramatic action. There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days – sex. But how will the locals react to the promise of a sizzling sex comedy? All is revealed in Last Tango in Little Grimley, this fast-paced comedy of an am-dram group in trouble.

The Worthy Players presents
The Princess and The Pea by Duncan Shepherd
The Worthy Players’ pantomime this December is The Princess and The Pea, inspired by the traditional story retold by the master of fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen. In its original version, it would barely fill this page, but has been adapted by author Duncan Shepherd into a new, full-length traditional-style panto, full of laughs, songs, hisses and cheers, suitable for audiences of all ages.
Here, as in the original well-loved tale, we have a prince for whom a princess wife is sought, but are he and the various candidates for this royal match quite suitable for each other?
Find out in December when we introduce members of the Kings and Queen’s court, the Jester, the Prince’s Nanny, an ample supply of would-be princesses, the ‘Enchanted Oak Tree’ and a large cast of supporting characters – all demonstrating just what the Worthy Players have been good at for more than 50 years – entertaining!

This year’s Christmas Anthology is a fun, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes poignant, mixture of songs, poems, prose and a short play written around the theme of Winter and Christmas, as we join a varied group of villagers having to plan a Christmas event for their community with only a draughty barn as a venue. It features items old and new, some well-loved classics and some pieces written specifically for Maskers – including the finale, Maskers’ Nativity, where things may not go quite as planned.
