The Valley Troupers Northleigh
Formed in 1992, The Valley Troupers have staged a wide variety of productions at Northleigh's Village Hall. A one-night entertainment at the Harvest supper that year has grown into a regular annual production. We are always looking for members, so if you are interested in acting or helping behind the scenes, do get in touch. Rehearsals at Northleigh's village hall usually start at 7.45pm each Thursday evening from mid September until performance dates in late March or early April. Ask any member of the Troupers for details of the current production.
​is based on a story by Oscar Wilde published in 1887 and first produced as a play at the Royal Court Theatre on 7th October 1952. Lord Arthur is engaged to the lovely Sybil Merton, but learns an awful fact about his future when his palm is read by a society cheiromantist. To the disadvantage of his aunts and his uncle, the noble lord tries his best to fulfil the palmist's prophecy before his wedding, but this leads to all kinds of difficulties. His lordship is ineptly assisted by his butler, a maid and a teutonic anarchist whose incompetence is matched only by his boundless self esteem.
