Following the success of ‘Gone To Pot’ the Hawarden Players have had their well earned summer break, and straight into the thick of it, having already started work on our next production which we are delighted to announce as…
Cinderella Rockafella: A PreHysterical Pantomime
Another fantastic script lovingly created by our own Fiona Burdsall, and under the direction of Kevin Dye, assisted by Diane Lott, this is sure to be a show that goes down in history.
Keep checking this website and our social media accounts for all the news regarding this exciting project, and the cast list which will shortly be announced!
Rehearsals are flying by for the Hawarden Players’ next production, ‘Gone to Pot’ which takes place later this month. Following the success of their winter pantomime, the ‘Ice Queen’, things are heating up, as their latest play transports us to an allotment where many secrets have been buried deep beneath the ground.
This home-grown comedy, written by group chairperson, Fiona Burdsall, introduces us to the head of the allotment committee, Brigadier Fortesque, who threatens to turf out anyone who lets standards slip on the gardening patch. His long suffering wife has competition from Lady Smythe-Warren who seems to share more than a passion for just growing vegetables with the Brigadier. Sharon struggles to control her kids from tormenting just about everyone, none more so than Annabelle, who just wants to start her own family, and just what are sisters Emily and Agnes hiding behind their shed door?
Fiona has created a script filled with laughs, drama and some lovely tender moments which the 11 strong cast are now putting their signature Hawarden Players mark on, and the set has already been built, bringing the outdoors, indoors!
Please visit our Purchase Tickets page to secure your seat before they sell out!
Fresh off a few weeks break, following our latest pantomime, the Hawarden Players are already hard at work again!
Our 2016 play is already in rehearsal and we are proud to announce it is a fantastic comedy called “Gone To Pot” and has been written by our very own Fiona Burdsall.
Set on an allotment, filled with secrets, you can be assured there is no drama, quite like a homegrown one!
Performances will take place in July, with tickets going on sale soon! Keep checking the Facebook page and our website for all the latest news!!
So there we go, another panto season whizzes by in the blink of an eye for the Hawarden Players, and what a run of shows we had!
Audiences packed out the Hawarden Institute to come and join in the fun of Ice Queen: The Panto. Along the way, they laughed, sang, danced, and got soaked through by Victoria and the Minus Three Degrees during the cleaning routine!
The group had a blast performing the show, and have been overwhelmed by the praise they have received. The feedback has been brilliant.
We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had a hand in getting the show up and running, be it on stage, or behind the scenes and front of house, and once again want to say a huge thank you to all our audiences who came and supported us!
A gallery of pictures taken of the show is now available to view on our Ice Queen page along with a video of a few highlights below.
We don’t rest on our laurels at the Hawarden Players, and plans are already forming regarding our summer play which will shortly be announced, along with all the opportunities to get involved, so keep checking here, our facebook page and our twitter account for all the info!
