Description

Survival is all about adapting and COVID may have stopped our productions but in August 2021 we were BACK, and outside...

Our first live show since the Covid 19 pandemic saw the Lane End Players’ undertake their first full length open air production at the Lane End Playing Fields with the charming little comedy “The Darling Buds Of May” by HE Bates, an uplifting tale about a wonderful family in rural England. The audiences loved it and the director (Kath Gill), cast and crew did a great job, even soldering on when the heavens opened but as that old saying goes "the show must go on".
