Aldermaston Players' next production from 25th to 27th September is Curtain Up, a comedy by Adam Croft. The Gerrysthorpe Amdram group are putting on a new play, but despite finding a cast, they may be in trouble. The village hall is going to be demolished to make way for a supermarket, so the performances have been moved up drastically!

Russell Players' next production from 18th to 19th October in Swallowfield is A Sequence of Events. Following the death of her father when she was just sixteen, Anne doesn’t think things could get much worse, but the unplanned pregnancy that follows is even more of a blow. Guided by her intolerant mother and a rather pompous and condescending doctor, the baby is put up for adoption. Anne tries to forget it all, but thirty years later, she receives a letter.
This is a play that refuses neat endings and constantly catches the audience off guard by going in unexpected directions. It allows the cast to flex their acting muscles with roles that are outside the norm. It entertains. The author Juliet Devon dares to tell an honest and different truth. It entertains.

AmEgos' next production from October 30th to November 1st in Wantage is The Ladykillers. This classic black comedy, based on the 1955 Ealing comedy, revolves around a sweet little old lady, who is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing. Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but strict Mrs Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus's brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?.

Faringdon Dramatic Society's next production is Over By Christmas from 6th to 8th November. Memories of the two World Wars in words and music. A variety show written by various authors. Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, this production will be based around World War I and II, with modern day conflicts intertwined in it. There will be acting, singing, dancing, and stories to tell.

From 13th to 15th November The Compton Players present Ladies in Retirement. In a remote, lonely house on the marshes of the Thames estuary an ex-actress lives with her companion. A visit from the latter’s two eccentric sisters, who make themselves at home, precipitates events, compounded by the arrival of a mysterious nephew. The result is disappearance and suspicions of murder. This autumn The Compton Players revisit this classic production from our past, originally staged by us in 1973.
