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.
Spirit Level 2022
Famous crime writer Jack Cameron and his wife Susie drown in a boating accident but are refused entry into heaven as Jack is a card-carrying atheist. They return to haunt their country cottage where they find life quite dull but amuse themselves by spooking the estate agent and frightening away prospective tenants. Things change when Susie persuades
Jack to allow a young couple, Simon and Flic, to move in, but it becomes clear that Marcia, Flic’s mother, is doing her best to separate the couple. Susie summons her Guardian Angel but when she arrives, she is far from the angelic figure one would expect. She tells Jack he can help Simon to write his book but her unorthodox method creates much confusion. Christmas arrives, together with a snowstorm and Flic's baby. A moment of crisis finds Jack doing something that no atheist could ever admit to. But will it help . . . ?
