Next Productions and Events
"The Cracked Pot" The play was first performed at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, in February 1995 and set in the Skipton of 1810. "The Cracked Pot" concerns the breaking of a jug – its owner, Martha, believes the guilty party to be her daughter's fiancé, and she wants the local judge, Adam, to have him convicted. But there are strong hints that Adam himself is to blame, and we watch him desperately shifting suspicion away from himself. After its run at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 1995, the play went on tour the following year – and was revived again in 2001, when it toured with Oedipus

Singing and Old Time Music HallThe Village Players also have a singing group who perform locally – recent engagements have been for residential care homes and local history societies. We are available for bookings – see details on our singing and Music hall page We can perform murder mystery evenings within a reasonable travelling distance. Each murder mystery is a unique production, written by our own murder mystery writer, tailored to the event and premises. So far we have performed two very successful evenings: Murder at the Auditions and Murder on Location, and we have more bookings in the pipeline. This provides a fun evening and is an excellent fund raising, or indeed commercial opportunity (e.g. for village halls, organisations, pubs etc). Please e-mail us for details at: evplayers@tinyonline.co.uk . We have capacity for one more murder mystery this calendar year
