Markfield and Thornton theatre group

Proudly present ….

Our next production is fast approaching. From 21st- 24th January 2026 we will be performing three one act plays by David Tristram, one of the UK’s most popular  comedy playwrights.

The plays revolve around four members of the Little Grimley Amateur Dramatics Society. Gordon, the pompous chairman always coming up with solutions to save the group from folding. Margaret, who sees herself as a budding actress. Joyce, whose naivety often makes her the target of ridicule, and Bernard, the brash and coarse handyman who does not mince his words.

The first play is ‘The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley’, in which a rival drama group threatens their survival, forcing them into a chaotic showdown. Then, desperate to boost ticket sales, they mash together every reality-TV craze they can think of – resulting in the disastrous “Little Grimley Presents Strictly Sex Factor (On Ice.)” And finally, they find themselves tangled in suspicion, as their latest production hits dangerously close to home in “Murder in Little Grimley”.

For this production the tables will be arranged in cafe style so feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks. Seating will be limited so if you are interested please ring Anne on 01530 469714 / 07450137182 or order via email a.s.a.p. Tickets are priced at £8.

Please note that occasional coarse language is used.

We hope to see you in the new year. 

Charlotte (Group Secretary)
