THE
WEST HUNTSPILL PLAYERS
A FRIENDLY LOCAL VILLAGE DRAMA CLUB FOUNDED IN 1973
THE APRIL 2024 PRODUCTION
IS SOLD OUT!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT TICKETS!
The West Huntspill Players are proud to announce their Spring 2024 Production of:
CASH ON DELIVERY by MICHAEL COONEY.
Michael Cooney's riotous farce has all the ingredients for rib-tickling hilarity and offers a colourful selection of character roles. Eric Swan (aided by his Uncle George and unbeknown to his wife, Linda) has pocketed thousands of pounds through fraudulent DSS claims. When Norman Bassett (the lodger) opens the door to Mr Jenkins, the DSS Inspector, deceptive mayhem follows — as do the undertaker, bereavement counsellor, psychiatrist, Norman's fiance, a corpse, the ominous Ms Cowper and a rather rebellious washing machine!
Directed by Greg Fear, the performances will take place from Wednesday April 24th until Saturday April 27th inclusive.

WHO WE ARE.....
We are a small and friendly amateur dramatic club, founded in 1973.
The club is located in the village of West Huntspill, located between Highbridge and Bridgwater in the County of Somerset.
The club performs two productions per year, one in April and the other in October, which attract audiences from all over the county and beyond.
We also produce occasional 'revues' and one-act play performances when the opportunities arise.
We have won numerous awards over the years, not only for acting but for stage management, costumes and other backstage activities.
The club specialises in farces and comedies, but we have produced the occasional murder mystery plays and thrillers over the years.
We are always looking for new members, either in an acting capacity or to join our backstage team. Please contact us for more information.
Enjoy the site and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our productions in the near future!
