Grenoside & Birley Carr Players (GBCP) perform plays and Gilbert & Sullivan operettas at the Community Centre, Grenoside, Sheffield. GBCP was recently formed by the merger of two existing groups, both of whom had been in existence for around 60 years. Grenoside Players have performed two plays each year at the Community Centre whilst Birley Carr Methodist Musical & Dramatic Society presented a play & a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta in Birley Carr Church hall. Due to the pending closure of the church, a merger of the two societies was seen to be beneficial to both groups in that it secured a home in the Community Centre for productions and it increased acting resources which allows a larger range of plays to be presented. The merger also introduces Gilbert & Sullivan operettas to the Grenoside Community.

Sue Hardacre and Vivien Stuart play The Nurses

"We are 2 nurses who look after the folk in Grimley when they end up in Hospital. When we're not doing that, we can be found supporting our miners down at the pit, and enjoy helping out at Brass Band contests."

William Godley plays Shane Ormondroyd:

"I'm really excited but a bit nervous to be in Brassed Off, as it's a bigger part than I've ever had before.
Shane is Phil and Sandra's eldest son, and just wants to be out playing football and spending time with his Grandad. He knows that the problems with the pit worry his mum and dad, so tries to help them out when he can. He's very kind, but can be quite cheeky!"

Elizabeth McWilliam plays Gloria Mullins:

"In my role as Gloria I play a talented flugelhorn player who returns to assess the mine. I become involved with my former flame and we rekindle our relationship. She is naive and well meaning and eventually realises the truth behind the future of Grimley pit. The character is challenging and I am honoured to perform yet another role with Grenoside and Birley Carr Players."

One of the best things about putting on Brassed Off is working alongside the fantastic Loxley Silver Band - this is a special experience for both groups.
Who needs the Albert Hall when you can pop along to Grenoside Community Centre to hear excellent brass music 🎶

Callum Haigh plays Andy Barrow:

"I am so honoured to be back performing with Grenoside Players after 'A Christmas Carol' in 2023. It is such a privilege to be playing a serious role, which is different from the musicals and comedies I normally perform in.
My character Andy Barrow was originally played by Ewan McGregor, so to play a role originated by Obi Wan Kenobi himself is fantastic and it’s brilliant to play a character from Yorkshire, my home region as well.
I dedicate my performances to my Grandad, who passed away earlier this year. He loved brass bands and the film Brassed Off."
