🎭 SET BUILD UNDERWAY FOR OUR NEXT PRODUCTION! 🎭

The Alexandra Players have been busy behind the scenes as we begin bringing our next production, HAPPY FAMILIES by John Godber, to life!

Last week, members of the team gathered at The Alexandra Hall to start work on building the set for this wonderfully entertaining play — and it’s fantastic to see the first pieces of the world of Happy Families beginning to take shape. 🛠️✨

Written by acclaimed playwright John Godber, Happy Families takes a look at family, relationships and the chaos that can unfold when the past comes knocking. Full of humour, warmth and plenty of familiar family moments, it promises to be a show that will have audiences laughing, reflecting, and perhaps recognising a little bit of their own families along the way!

🎭 THANK YOU! ❤️

And just like that, our journey around Britain has come to an end.

On behalf of the entire cast and crew of "Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island", we'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along and supported our production this week.

With temperatures soaring outside, we were especially grateful to see so many familiar faces joining us at Alexandra Hall and sharing in Bill Bryson's wonderfully funny, nostalgic and affectionate look at Britain.

Productions like this simply wouldn't be possible without the support of our audiences, volunteers, backstage team, front-of-house helpers and everyone who continues to champion local theatre. Thank you for travelling with us on this adventure.

We're also looking forward to sharing more photographs from the production with you very soon, so keep an eye on our page for those.

And the journey doesn't stop here... 👀

News of our next production will be coming very soon, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Until then, thank you once again for your support, your laughter and your applause. It means the world to us.

❤️ The Alexandra Players
