Latest News: Performers Will Always Find a Way to Perform.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we are unable to say when we can next come together as a group to perform live. But as a group we have decided to put together a virtual summer show! Planning is well under way and we will let you know dates in due course. The theme is Summer! Keep checking the Upcoming section on the website for more info.
Eurovision was cancelled this year due to Covid-19, but fear not, The Lane End Players put on their own version via Zoom! The evening was a roaring success and very funny. Well done to The Netherlands entry who won the 'Corovision Song Contest'. Some of the performances were done live (how brave), but the pre recorded videos can be found on our YouTube Channel via this link:

The 8th May 2020 was the 75th anniversary of VE Day. Thanks to the creative and technical abilities of our members, we have created this very fitting and poinient video for the current circumstances we find ourselves in. This would have been our opening number. Hopefully it will be again one day soon.
Please share far and wide.

Verdun also created a compilation video from our VE Day show in 1995 with up to date interviews from the cast and crew as a special VE Day 75 look back. The video can be viewed here: https://vimeo.com/416119797?fbclid=IwAR1KqmlHabN40uJraX-r3yXXcYJH1tGXtIBx1tEGCt0orCMaZlP8Vzhjaak

Lane End Players is an award-winning drama group performing a wide range of plays, musical shows and pantomimes. Our most recent show, The Snow Queen, played to sell-out audiences and got rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. (Check out our FBpage/website to read the reviews).
We are based in a small(ish!) Village Hall but we've got big ambitions. In recent years we have performed plays as diverse and as challenging as Ladies' Day, Daisy Pulls it Off, Calendar Girls and Tom's Midnight Garden and by playwrights from Alan Ayckbourn to William Shakespeare.
We have an outstanding team of actors, set designers and constructors, costume designers and makers, and lighting and sound designers and directors who all love, and rise to, a challenge.
Our technical team for example, is hugely talented, skilful and totally committed to using the most up-to-date technology to make all our shows truly professional. However, they are a small team and, with 4 shows a year plus social events and other projects, they are often over-stretched. So we're now looking for technically-minded people to join our fantastic team. If you have relevant experience already, that's great but, if you haven't and are keen to learn, that's great too. If you're interested in joining our technical team - or in joining us in any other capacity, we'd love to hear from you. Please send us a message with your details and we'll get back to you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
