Next production

Never Work with Children or Animals

Never Work with Children or Animals, 27th to 29th November, 7:30
Two one-act plays where the cast are not quite what they seem...

  • A Dog's Life, by Pam Valentine. Four dogs lie in cages in an animal shelter: Ben, a tramp's mongrel; Fritz, a rather intimidating German Shepherd who has had many homes; Fifi, an overweight poodle who has been spoilt by wealthy owners and Ginger, a lively pup. A Dog's Life depicts the moment when a woman comes to the shelter and has to choose between these four dogs – a choice that literally means life or death for old Ben.
  • Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. A primary school class prepare for their nativity play...

A Dog's Life is funny and compassionate, and will bring a tear to your eye. Jingle Bells, Batman Smells is a laugh from start to finish and will get you in the mood for the festive season.

About Compton Players

Compton Players have been producing plays every year since 1947. We always welcome new members; not only people who want to act, but also those who can construct scenery, or would like to learn how, those who can make or sew costumes, those with a knowledge of electrics and/or electronics, and those who would like to help with publicity, box-office and front of house. We normally rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the Coronation Hall, Compton (about 10 miles North of Newbury) and for most productions there are twelve weeks of rehearsals. It doesn't matter if you've had any previous experience or not. Our members come from all over the place - from Thatcham in the South to Grove in the North - so there's probably someone near you.

If you want any more information about Compton Players, our chairman is Helen Saxton - contact her at .
