Past Productions

This was the third such rehearsed reading by Cheriton Players and was a fundraising evening in support of our 2018 charity, Blue Apple Theatre based in Winchester, who support and encourage live theatre and performing by children with learning difficulties.

Our Spring 2018 production was Communicating Doors by Alan Ayckbourn, a comedy with several twists including murder, intrigue, suspense and a time travelling portal!

We had a complete sell-out for the whole run and, it being a warm week (an unusual April heatwave arrived for the first night) we nearly ran out of ice creams!

BBV Theatre returns to Cheriton, following the successful tour of Charley's Aunt in May, with a modern day take on Dickens' classic – A Christmas Carol. This story of redemption certainly stands the test of time. And we've even thrown in a twist, too.

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his castle for a weekend of revelry.

Rehearsed Reading – Young Jane – three plays inspired by Jane Austen’s teenage writings by Cecily O’Neill of 2TimeTheatre, introduced by Cecily herself.

Friday 22nd September 2017, 7.30 pm in Cheriton Village Hall

It was the 1950s and in Cheriton yet another murder shook its people to the core. It seems everyone had a secret… and the village and police needed your help to solve the mystery.

For the first time ever, Cheriton Players played host to a touring production by another group, BBV Productions. The result was a delightful evening of fun with a comedy classic.

A fund raiser for the Cheriton Village Hall, and back by popular demand, The Cheriton Players and the Cheriton Village Hall committee presented the Even Greater Cheriton Variety Show to packed houses over four nights in March 2017.

Cash on Delivery is a traditional farce, written by Michael Cooney (son of Ray Cooney) and featuring, amongst other unlikely characters, a washing machine with a mind of its own.

'A Month of Sundays' is a touching comedy with plenty of laughs – and one or two rather poignant moments too. A really lovely story of human frailty and our ability to use our sense of humour to overcome it.

Our second outdoor production ever, this hugely popular comedy by Peter Gordon, set in a run-down campsite, played to packed audiences in the grounds of The Flower Pots Inn. Meet Neville, the camper you would most definitely NOT want to park your caravan next door to, plus a load of other dysfunctional characters.

A fundraiser in aid of Cheriton Village Hall, this was a bit of a throw-back to the days of our Old Time Music Halls, and proved to be as popular as ever.

Based on PG Wodehouse's Blandings stories, this delightful comedy follows the antics of Clarence, The Ninth Earl of Emsworth, his formidable sister Connie, dippy son Freddie, arch rival Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe and many others.

A fine classic from the pen of J.B. Priestley. The mysterious Inspector Goole calls with life-changing news and life for the Birlings is never going to be the same again.

A most unusual, zany comedy that got our audiences intrigued and laughing in equal amounts. April 2013.

A bitter sweet comedy about a homeless family and how they affect a Methodist Minister

With a cast of over 20, some playing two characters apiece, Alice provided a challenge for everyone not least because it rained on and off for four of the five performances.

An unusual Ayckbourn - more of an adventure story than his usual black comedy. Starring lots of teenagers of the time.
