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.
Inspector Drake & the Time Machine 2004 A professor's dead body is found in the library, his daughter has vanished and everything points to the mysterious time machine. Can intrepid Inspector Drake, ably hampered by Sergeant Plod, solve the crime of the century? Heroically pressing the wrong button by mistake, our hero hurtles into the year 2950, on the deck of an alien spaceship. Plod becomes momentarily super-intelligent and tries to make love to a robot, while Drake uncovers a fiendish plot to take over the world, and falls into the groping hands of the sex-starved High Priestess of Zircon... just another day in Northleigh, really!
