Piles of photographs

Wymondham Players recently had a call from Nicholas Bagshaw – the son of founder member Robert Bagshaw, the star of Philip Yaxley’s latest. He had some very interesting archive material – scrap books, photographs and programmes which we are now sorting through – so watch this space.

Black-and-white still of women

In November 1958, they had record houses – 1200 people attended the performance of Doctor In The House over six nights at the Women’s Institute Hall. 14 coachloads brought people in from outside the town.

Wymondham Players are, of course, still going strong, and the next production will be Some Of My Best Friends Are Women by Carol Trickner. It is a comedy which revolves around the members of a book club. It will be on April 22nd to 25th 7.45 each evening and 2.00 Saturday Matinee. Tickets will be on sale on our website in March.

This coincides with the period covered by the project “Art is at the Heart of Wymondham”.
