Two Café Stories - Comedy Double Bill
Wonderful evenings were had by all for this amazing double bill, showing the versatility of our actors, some new to the group and some old timers. This was a big group effort with a strong team behind the stage. Many thanks to everyone's hard work and above all, we are so appreciative of the ongoing support from those who bought tickets and saw the shows. It means so much to West Haddon Players
After Esme by Kathryn West is a whimsical comedy that plays out across various cafés and a park bench as Esme and her friends work through the consequences of life changing events.
Café Sirocco by Tony Layton sees four strangers navigate their way through their first dates together – perhaps unexpected connections may bring a new dimension to their evenings!
The Park Bench
19th to 21st June 2025
A touching and gentle comedy about life, love and human connection by Ashley Burgoyne
The cast put on 3 amazing performances to nearly full houses on each night.
Once again, great effort was put in to the set design and the result was incredible.
There was a great team working on the play, and thanks goes to all involved, and of course to those who supported us on the performance nights, and made it both a success and enjoyable
Charles once shared a park bench with his beloved wife, Rose. Now, he sits alone, lost in memories of her, with only an empty space beside him. But when strangers begin to sit with him, Charles finds himself drawn into a web of strange occurrences. Something valuable seems to have gone missing, though it’s unclear whether it was misplaced or stolen. And who are the two mysterious figures, constantly glued to their phones, lurking around the bench?
The Park Bench is a poignant, yet light-hearted exploration of life’s fleeting moments and the unexpected connections that shape our existence. This heart-warming play invites us into the lives of ordinary people as they navigate the complexities of modern relationships, love, and the tapestry of human relationships. With humour and sensitivity, it reminds us that every encounter, no matter how small, holds the potential for change.

Lockdown and Last Panto in Little Grimley double bill
We gave Gordon and his little band at the Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society a very well received outing in West Haddon a year or so ago and they are back with another couple of comedy capers.
The show ran for three nights in West Haddon village hall, from 30th January to 1st February 2025 to near sell out audiences on each night. The feedback was amazing and West Haddon Players are very proud of the 4 very talented actors who make up this small returning cast. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made these evenings such a success and of course to all those you bought tickets and made it such a fun event
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made these shows so fun
"Stand and Deliver" a Resounding Success!
