The Lane End Players is delighted to announce our next show! And it’s something a little bit different. A murder mystery supper club entitled ‘The Groom has Cold Feet’.
The Wild West was a fast drinkin’, straight shootin’, lawless kinda place but, under the watchful eye of the square-jawed Sheriff, the frontier town of Pine Grove had always been a peaceable community. Until a murder right on its doorstep shocks the law-abidin’ townsfolk and the Sheriff has to use all his powers of detection to trackdown the culprit. He’s gonna need all the help he can git!
Why not come along to watch the story unfold and, while you’re enjoying a Western-themed 2-course supper and downing shots of red-eye from our well-stocked - and reasonably priced! - saloon, see if you can help the Sheriff to solve the crime and unmask the murderer!
Performances are in Lane End Village Hall on February 10th & 11th.

Noda News 2022

NODA London District award winners have been announced and we're delighted that we have won not just one, but two awards!
The first award is the Dumayne Warne Trophy for poster design which we have won for our poster of the double bill production, Two and Love Letters. The poster was designed by Tara-Lee Hollander with photography by Peter Humfryes. This is the first time that we have entered this award category so we were thrilled to have won. We are so lucky to have such talented members in our group.
The second award, also for Two and Love Letters, is the Pat Redhead Award for Best Drama. These plays for just two actors were performed to limited audiences in an intimate theatre setting. They were hugely successful. Audiences loved them and, obviously, the critics did too!
Two was performed by Alison Hartnett and Ben Sansom and directed by Ceri Nicolson. Love Letters was performed by Ceri Nicolson and Nick Wyse and directed by Kath Gill. Congratulations to them and to everyone involved in the production.
We have won a string of NODA awards in recent years, most recently Best Panto award for Snow Queen, and the Pat Redhead Award for Best Drama (again!) for Ladies Day.
We are very proud that our productions are recognised by NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association), which is the main organisation for amateur theatre in this country. It has been providing support and education to amateur theatre groups across the UK since 1899 and has a membership of 2,500 groups.
This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary so to have won these awards in our anniversary year is very special.

Where are we... |
Are you interested in joining us? Please read on.....
Lane End Players is an award-winning drama group performing a wide range of plays, musical shows and pantomimes.
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, skillful 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.
