We are all of us gathered here today, to say our final farewell to George Riley…

We had 4 fantastic audiences over 4 nights of fun, laughter and tears (and that was just the backstage crew). Our thanks go out to our wonderful hardworking front of house staff, our dedicated backstage crew working overtime in 4 corners of the theatre space, our magnificent cast who acted professionally throughout and last but not least a big thankyou to you, our superb audience.

We will be back in a few weeks at Bridgnorth so watch out for further notices!

The production is now rolling along towards its dress rehearsal, the play is looking and sounding great with some fantastic moments and performances. All we need now is a big audience to watch us in the intimate “in the round” atmosphere!

Wednesday April 8th to Saturday April 11th at Albrighton Primary School, £8 for adults and £7 for concessions. Tickets are going fast, we have VERY limited amounts of front row seats now for each night , there are only two rows of seats to ensure you can see the action from any seat in the house. So hurry hurry tickets are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk/albrightonplayers and also from our box office on 07434 830142.

Hope to see you there!

Rehearsals are going swimmingly and the production is coming together really well! However tickets are going fast. As we are performing “in the round” there are two rows of seats on all 4 sides and the front row definitely gives the best view of the action.

We have already sold half of the front row for Thursday 9th April and Saturday 11th April night so get in quick and bag a good seat. Wednesday 8th April and Friday 10th April have more tickets available but that is likely to change soon!

This is an unusually early warning but we are aware that seating is limited so we want to keep you all updated.

Tickets are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk/albrightonplayers and also from our box office on 07434 830142.

Hope to see you there!

Albrighton Players are happy to announce that tickets are on sale for Life of Riley by Alan Ayckbourn. We are performing at Albrighton Primary School from Wednesday 8th April until Saturday 11th April 2015. Tickets are £8 for adults and £7 for concessions. However for the price conscious we have our “Opening Night Special” where all tickets are just £6!

As this play is in the round it is best to book early to bag yourself a good seat!

This is a superb play full of dark humour. With a few months of his life remaining, George Riley’s closest friends remember with love, nostalgia or occasional bursts of fury, how deeply he has affected all their past lives. George, though, is plotting one last final farewell which threatens to upset all their future lives. What exactly is the eccentric maverick Riley playing at?

This play is a huge challenge for us as we will presenting it “in the round” for only the second time in our history. Playing in the round puts you right in the middle of the action, especially important with plays such as this, which rely on subtle performances in an intimate environment.

You can buy tickets direct from ticketsource. If you prefer you can email us on our contact page, ring our ticketline on 07434830142 or go direct to Home Furnishings, The Old Ballroom, Station road, Albrighton and buy them there.

We look forward to seeing you in April!

After a roaring success with the frenetic farce, Cash on Delivery we continue our season with a more intimate introspective comedy, Life of Riley by Alan Ayckbourn. This is a fantastic play from one of our most prolific and successful playwrights. It is a comedy full of dark humour with a hint of slapstick and melancholy.

To make the prospect even more mouthwatering we are going to be doing this production “in the round”. For the uninitiated this means the stage and set are in the middle of the hall and the audience surround the production on all four sides. You will be inches from the actors and the action, feeling as if you are there with them through their trials and tribulations. This is the most intimate atmosphere for a production and one that suits this play down to the ground. For those of a nervous disposition have no fear there is no audience participation at all this is just a great way to make you feel the story envelop you.

Mark the dates in your diary for 8th to 11th April 2015.

More details to  follow but here is a taster for now…

Friends and family gather to remember the unseen and dying George Riley’s life. As they look back on lives lived or might have lived, George plots a final farewell which threatens to upset all their future lives.

More information soon!

Thanks to all the cast, crew, front of house and you the audience for making our last production a roaring success.

This was a fantastic play that had the audience in stitches every night. I have never heard quite so much laughter in all the right places from our audience. It really was heart warming to see community theatre receive such support. We always love doing farce and this one ranks right up there with the best.

Now onwards and upwards, trying to keep up this quality is no mean feat but we are upto the task. We have plans to go back in time to revive a style of theatre we last dallied with in 2003. The dates for your diary are Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th April 2015. A little later than usual and smack bang in Easter holidays which might give some of you a hint as to what we can get upto when the school is closed for the holidays.

More news soon…

The stage is almost set ,as it enters it’s final polishing phase. The director and actors are also honing and refining the production to Albrighton’s usual high standard.

Don’t forget the dates, 19th – 22nd November, prices are £6 for everyone on Wednesday and £8 for adults, £7 for concessions on Thursday to Saturday.

Rehearsals are racing along, even as we speak books are going down (according to the director) and pace is being tuned and tweaked all round.

Don’t forget the dates, 19th – 22nd November, prices are £6 for everyone on Wednesday and £8 for adults, £7 for concessions on Thursday to Saturday.

More news soon so book now at ticketsource.

Albrighton Players are happy to announce that tickets are now on sale for Cash on Delivery by Michael Cooney. We are performing at Albrighton Primary School from Wednesday 19th November until Saturday 22nd November 2014. Tickets are £8 for adults and £7 for concessions. However for the price conscious we have our “Opening Night Special” where all tickets are just £6!

It’s early but I know some like to plan ahead and get in early to snag the best seats.

The play is a superb funny farce. Eric Swan (aided by his Uncle George and unbeknown to his wife, Linda) has pocketed thousands of pounds through fraudulent DSS claims. When Norman Bassett (the lodger) opens the door to Mr Jenkins, the DSS Inspector, deceptive mayhem follows — as do the undertaker, bereavement counsellor, psychiatrist, Norman’s fiancee, a corpse and the ominous Ms Cowper.

This riotous farce by Michael Cooney debuted in 1996 at Theatre Royal Windsor directed by his father, Ray Cooney. With such a pedigree this one is a real ‘must see’!

You can buy tickets on our facebook page or on our website. Or go direct to ticketsource.

Plenty of updates to follow so “like” our facebook page to stay in contact.
