Stay in touch with Torrington Players online
Torrington Players now use a small set of social media channels to share news, photos and opportunities to get involved. Each one has a slightly different job, so you can choose the way that suits you best.
Our aim is simple: make it easy for you to hear about upcoming shows and play readings, and to give a flavour of what happens behind the scenes.
Something is Stirring at The Plough…
Torrington Players are positively thrilled to reveal that preparations of a most intriguing and faintly improper nature are underway for our forthcoming production at The Plough Arts Centre this November.
Play Reading: "When we are Married"
The Torrington Players are inviting audiences and would‑be performers alike to a fun, informal play reading night – a chance to try out a part, enjoy a classic script without the pressure of performance, and see whether being on (or near) the stage might be for you. These evenings are a great way to meet the group, build confidence and simply share a good story together.
The date: Monday July 6th, 7:30pm at Torrington Town Hall
Spotlight: Oh! What a Lovely War
A landmark production — twice over.
Joan Littlewood's Oh! What a Lovely War is one of the most celebrated pieces of political theatre in the British repertoire. First staged by Theatre Workshop at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in 1963, it uses the songs, slogans, and statistics of the First World War to create a devastating portrait of institutional folly and human sacrifice. It is funny, angry, heartbreaking, and technically demanding — not an obvious choice for a small community theatre company. The Torrington Players staged it anyway. Twice.
