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.
Brush with a Body 1996 was written by Maurice McLoughlin and first performed in London in July 1962. Originally set in Hampstead, the setting was moved to East Devon as is the normal practice of the Troupers. The action takes place in the morning room of Sybil Walling's large rambling three storeyed house. From the moment Seamus Flaherty the Irish chimney sweep arrives, things go from bad to worse for poor Henry Walling, and madness and mayhem ensue.
