The Monkton Players were originally formed in 1949 and performed their first ever production – The Proposal by Anton Chekhov – in the old Victory Village Hall (which once stood where the current village hall car park is today). Sadly, the group disbanded in the 1960s, and the village was left without a drama group for many years.

That changed in 1980, when The Monkton Players were joyfully reformed – and we’ve been going strong ever since!

Since then, we’ve performed over 80 comedies, including a standout performance of Outside Edge for our 10th anniversary, which ran for a week at The Brewhouse – a rare feat for a village hall group.

We now put on two productions each year – one in March and another in October.
As soon as one curtain falls, we’re already on the hunt for our next comedy!
