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.
Tons of Money 1997
was written by Will Evans in 1922 but adapted by Alan Ayckbourne in 1986. The play is set in the orangery of Aubrey Henry Allington's house at Marlow in Buckinghamshire. Allington is an unsuccessful inventor with a list of debts longer than his name. Financial relief arrives in the form of a large inheritance, but his problems are far from over....
