Around 70 years ago, a concert was held at Bramshot Avenue Congregational Church (now the URC), where the Friendship Club performed a one-act play titled Tea-Time Tempest. Inspired by this early success, the club later hosted its own evening of entertainment featuring two plays. From these humble beginnings, The Alexandra Players were born.
Since 1966, The Alexandra Players have staged over 100 different productions. Remarkably, only three plays have ever been repeated: Blithe Spirit (1975 and 2003), Absurd Person Singular (1979 and 2009), and Play On! (1988 and 2011).
Our goal has always been to deliver high-quality live theatre to the local community. Whether dramatic or comedic, our productions aim to amuse, challenge, and engage – but above all, to entertain.
In 2013, we were proud to be chosen by the Royal Shakespeare Company to take part in their Open Stages Programme – the UK’s largest amateur theatre initiative.
