Further Audition Notice - Wyrd Sisters - 23 September at 8pm

FURTHER AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT!

We will be holding open auditions for our March production of Terry Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters, adapted for the stage by Stephen Briggs, on Wednesday 23rd September at 8pm at The Little Theatre, Harold Wood.

It’s Macbeth, turned up ’till the knob comes off, in true Pratchett style. It’s all there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction?

A coven of witches!

'Allo 'Allo - 4-7 November 2026

We are excited to kick off the new season celebrating 80 years of the Guildonian Players with the much loved 'Allo 'Allo at The Little Theatre, which will be running from 4-7 November at 8pm nightly plus 2.30pm Saturday Matinee. 

Based on the TV series and featuring so many of your favourite characters, all is not well at the Café René ... they have stashed a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis in a sausage in their cellar, where two British airmen remain in hiding until the Resistance can repatriate them. Communications with London using the wireless that is disguised as a cockatoo add to the confusion ... and news that the Führer is scheduled to visit the town brings extra peril - René must summon all the wit he can muster to save his cafe - and his life!

Our Final Tale - The Franklin's Tale

The Franklin's Tale

A happily married couple make a very sensible agreement: honesty, respect … and absolutely no dramatic complications. Naturally, everything immediately becomes complicated. Enter a lovestruck admirer, a throwaway “impossible” promise (remove every dangerous rock from the coastline? !), and just enough magic to turn a casual joke into a full-blown romantic crisis. What follows is a chain reaction of noble gestures, impossible dilemmas, and people being far too honourable for their own good—until everyone is basically competing to be the nicest, most self-sacrificing person in medieval Europe. 

Tickets for Canterbury Tales are available from guildonian-players.sumupstore.com

or call 07762 133620 to reserve tickets and pay on the door. 

(17 - 20 June at 8pm nightly plus 2.30pm Saturday matinee).
