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.
More Tea Vicar 1993
Our first full length production was written by Paul Haines and set in the sleepy village of Marshford Bottom, where the village is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new vicar. The rural calm is shattered when two incompetent burglars crash their stolen getaway car and hide their booty in the local manor house, belonging to Sir Charles and Lady Lymington. The plot becomes ever more complex with almost no-one turning out to be who they claim to be, but somehow or other all ends well.
