We are now going full tilt towards our next production, the fabulously funny HMS Pinafore. This is a frothy and delightfully light take on romance, class and silly goings on set in the Victorian navy. So why not join Captain Corcoran, his crew, plus Sir Joseph Porter KCB and his bevy of cousins and aunts, as we set sail for a light-hearted tale of love, snobbery and mistaken identities. More details on this show here.

 A Little Night Music was a blast and has been nominated for 3 NODA District Awards: Best Musical, Best Stage Technical and Best Individual Performance for Ellie as Desiree Armfeldt, we will find out later in the year how we do, but in the meantime you can read all about our newest Sondheim experience here.

For those of you who have only ever seen us perform live, it may be a bit of a surprise to learn that several of the members of the group have had considerable experience as extras in various television and film projects over the years. But this Autumn, we took the bold step of making a movie of our own. Admittedly, it is only four minutes long but it's a genuine movie, filmed in high definition video, with a script and actors and everything! As you probably know, our resident author, Nigel, as well as writing plays, also writes novels, which can be found on Amazon Kindle. In order to publicise them, he has made several short video trailers, using still images, audio dialogue and musical underscoring. When he decided to try to create a similar trailer for his comic novel, Bard Boy, he realised that he needed to tell a small part of the story as a teaser. So, he wrote a short script and persuaded various members of the Concept Players to help him to act it out. If you want to see the final result, click here.

Last March we toured with The Mystery Of Edwin Drood. This fun show, not often performed, seemed to wow audiences with its madcap take on a Dickens' classic. This too has been nominated for an award, Best Stage Technical in NODA District 4 Wales and Ireland. We will find out later in the year if we have been successful. A full show report and pictures from Drood are here. |
In the Autumn of 2013 we had a very successful run of Lend Me Tenor in Penarth and Abergavenny and at the annual Glamorgan League Glammies Award ceremony in June this year, having been nominated and shortlisted in all acting categories, we won Best Supporting Actor (Nigel), Best Director (Ruairidh) and Best Play. So another successful year! A full report of the play with photos and our NODA Review of Lend Me A Tenor can be found here. |
