Our recent productions:
Clerical Errors – 16th-19th November 2011
This poignant comedy enthralled audiences who found it heart-warming, funny, thought-provoking and sad in equal parts. It was an opportunity too, to allow a couple of new faces to have their turn on the Cheriton stage: Thea Arnott as the feisty Julia and Angela Ledsham (also the Players’ present chairman) in the role of her gran. Running over four nights, the show received a well-deserved critique from The Echo Curtain Call reviewer, Anne Waggott: “…there was much to enjoy in Cheriton Players’ comic offering”.
Alice – open air production at Cheriton Cottage June 21-25 2011
Alice marked a very special occasion in the Cheriton Players’ history – our first ever full scale open air production, a cast of well over twenty people playing some thirty characters, a three day get-in (in the rain), tickets sales of nearly 600, five performances (four and a half of them in the dry), a beautiful setting by the River Itchen and on the final night we had both the writer and the composer in the audience.
The Players are indebted to Rachael Greenwood and others who have put together this book of Recipes and, as a result, have handed us a handsome cheque for our funds.
Favourite Recipes from Cheriton, Hampshire features nearly 150 favourite recipes from residents in Cheriton (and further afield). There is something for everyone: from elegant morsels to tempt “ladies who lunch” to hearty family casseroles, plus a recipe from renowned cook, Mary Berry.
All proceeds from sales will be shared between six voluntary organisations who contribute so much to village life: Cheriton Players, Cheriton Recreation Committee), Cheriton Singers, Cheriton Village Hall Committee, Church of St Michael and All Angels, Friends of Cheriton School.
Favourite Recipes from Cheriton, Hampshire is priced £7.50, at Cheriton Stores and The Flower Pots Inn, and also at Etiquette, Broad Street, Alresford. For mail order/other enquiries, phone 01962 771964 or 01962 771008.
