About the Little Common & Bexhill Players
View Location of Little Common & Bexhill Players in a larger map
We perform pantomimes, plays, reviews, variety shows and murder mystery evenings.
We meet on Tuesday evenings from 8.00pm to 10.00pm at Little Common Community Hall, Shepherds Close, Little Common (see map, right).
We are very fortunate that the theatre where we perform is also our rehearsal venue. As far as possible, we produce our own costumes and scenery and we are keen to recruit more people into this aspect of our productions. We also source and lend props and costumes to other local groups.
Join Little Common & Bexhill Players
Why not come and join in the fun? Our group welcomes new members both on stage - singers and non-singers, experienced or complete novices - and off-stage to help with costumes, scenery, props, lighting, sound and front-of-house.
In a typical year we put on three productions:
- a pantomime in January
- a variety show or revue or play in May
- a murder mystery or play in September
Pantomimes
Recent pantomimes include King Arthur, Bluebeard, Goody Two-Shoes and Jack and the Beanstalk. Pantomime rehearsals begin mid-September with performances mid-January.
Plays
Plays cover comedy, farce and serious drama and have included Haywire by Eric Chappell, Off The Hook by Derek Benfield and Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling.
Revues and Variety Shows
These combine songs, sketches, poems and dance with a common theme.
Murder Mystery Evenings
Our murder mystery evenings start with a short play (approx. 30 minutes) involving a murder and a cast of very suspicious characters - one of whom is the murderer. The audience then have the opportunity to question the suspects before each team tries to pick out the guilty party.
