"Murdered to Death"
It had to happen sometime. Two murder mysteries in one season. No crime fatigue in our audiences apparently...

"Going Postal"
Our third Terry Pratchett play. Everyone was involved, some several times. Costumes, mail-sacks, weapons a plenty.
"It's not just murder mysteries and comedies. We like a change too. Plays from Terry Pratchett books are fun to do but hard work. OOK! We do plays by local Ampthill authors too."
"After 45 years as a group we've seen lots of changes. We have only repeated one show so far - 20th century values don't always fit todays audience. We're out seeking new plays."
2016 April
