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...

We're hosting a free directors' symposium at Dartington Village Hall on Sunday 22nd November. Dartington Playgoers are keen to support the development of new local directors. We have organised an event where anyone interested in the directing process can listen to, share, and ask questions to five experienced local directors. Book here

 

And look out for our next full production, which will be Betrayal by Harold Pinter, directed by John Pamplin and presented at ‘Centre’ in Totnes in January.

Join us...

Our members have some challenging decisions to make in 2026, but we're still enthusiastic about making theatre.  Why not
