Playgoers Society of Dartington Hall
Welcome to Dartington Playgoers
We've been making theatre in and around Dartington (South Devon) for over 70 years. We are committed to creating the best shows we can and presenting our audiences with dynamic, imaginative and engaging productions.
Until recently, we've staged three shows a year in the studio spaces at Dartington Hall, along with a series of rehearsed readings and other theatrical events at venues including the Great Hall, Bogan House and Totnes Library.
We now no longer have a home at Dartington, so we're on the road! Let us know your thoughts on possible Playgoers venues.
We also exist to provide opportunities in acting, directing, technical and front of house management. We are always looking for new people to join us and develop their theatre skills.
Coming up...
Following the success of Shakers: Under New Management over summer, the committee have been at work behind the scenes getting ready for some new productions - and auditions are coming up!
These will be for our next full production, which will be Betrayal by Harold Pinter, directed by John Pamplin and presented at ‘Centre’ in Totnes in January.
Auditions will be in the small room at Dartington Village Hall on Sunday 4th October, at 10.30am with a possible second date of Sun 11th October if required. Let Patrick Cooper know if you’re coming or if you'd like to audition but are unavailable on the 4th: patrickcooperdjs@gmail.com. Copies of the script are also available to borrow if you want to read it before.
