Welcome to 2019!
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
"A Midsummer Night's Dream"
At APTG we're known for pushing ourselves to the limits to bring our audiences great theatrical experiences.
In May 2019 we'll be challenging ourselves with a different type of project, something definitely outside our 'comfort zone'. We're delighted to announce that Rachel McGregor has agreed to direct William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This promises to be a thrilling project, both on and off-stage, with a host of roles to be filled and some technical headscratchers to overcome.
Rehearsals are now underway, but if you fancy helping us make this a production to remember, why not contact us to see how you can get involved?
Tickets will be on sale very soon. Performance dates are as follows:
Thursday 16th May - 8pm
Friday 17th May - 8pm
Saturday 18th May - 3pm Matinée & 8pm

A farewell to "Barefoot In The Park"
|
|
A big thank you to everybody who came to support our production of Neil Simon's "Barefoot In The Park".
The play, revolving around two newlyweds living in a brownstone apartment in New York City in the 1960s, negotiating the ups and downs of married life over the course of 4 days, was another great success. Some marvellous performances and an innovative set brought out the comedy to superb effect in Simon's tale of the mismatched Corrie and Paul, as well as Corrie's buttoned-down mother and the eccentric gourmet upstairs. We benefited from a very complimentary NODA review, which praised every aspect of the performance, from the skilful direction to the feats of technical innovation to the cast's American accents. Always nice to get some positive feedback! Check out our picture gallery on our Past Productions page! |
Great Memories of "The Memory Of Water"!

Our May 2018 production, "The Memory Of Water" by Shelagh Stephenson may be over, but what a show it was!
We'd like to thank our wonderful audiences for their support and appreciation, and we hope you were blown away by the efforts of Lynne, her cast and the unsung heroes behind the scenes who brought this all together. Check out our photo gallery opposite! Details of our next production should be available soon, so watch this space, or follow us on our social media pages (just click on the links above). If you want to get involved more directly, why not come and join us? |
Another Huge Success!
|
Our November 2017 production, Alan Ayckbourn's "A Chorus Of Disapproval", directed by Lesley Hart, was another triumph for Playgoers.
With great audiences each evening, including sell-outs on Friday and Saturday, this will count as one of the group's most successful shows in recent memory. A wonderful cast and brilliant technicals supporting the drama and songs made this a production full of fun, colour and poignancy. Check out some of the pictures opposite! |

Another 2017 Highlight! 'The Lady in the Van' by Alan Bennett With a full audience every night and ending with rapturous applause I think we can safely say our production of Alan Bennett's 'The Lady in the Van' was a success! Thank you to all who came to watch and supported us throughout the rehearsal period. We couldn't do it without you. |

Each year APTG nominates a charity to support. In 2018 we supported Child Bereavement UK, a Buckinghamshire-based charity that supports families and educates professionals when a child dies or is dying and when a child is facing bereavement.
Their aim is to ensure that every child, young person, parent and family member across the UK can access the support they need to rebuild their lives after the devastation of child bereavement. With your help, we can be there to guide families through the long and difficult journey of grief, for as long as they need it. If you would like further information, please visit https://www.childbereavementuk.org/. We will be announcing our supported charity for 2019 very soon. |
