This Spring we bring you Alan Ayckbourn’s comic mastery with his acclaimed real time tragi-comedy classic Absent Friends.
Colin is returning to a circle of old friends who are wondering how best they can break some bad news to him about his fiancee. They decide to throw a tea party for him. But his friends are tangled together with a mixture of business and extra-marital problems and the tensions between them erupt before Colin arrives. Colin enters the fray totally happy and oblivious to what is going. His friends relationships reach breaking point while they try to act normal around him. Can the circle of friends survive this chaotic tea party?

If you would like to join us either on stage or backstage or would just like more details you can contact us here.
We perform 2-3 times a year either touring villages local to Matlock or performing at one location. We welcome people of all ages whether you are interested in acting, directing, lighting, sound, stage managing, props or front of house. Here are the comments from someone who joined recently:
"I don’t know whether the meeting is an appropriate point/time, but I did want to record somewhere how great the group is for new members such as myself. Everyone has been so welcoming, something that is certainly not the case with all groups. Knowing this might just encourage others to become involved. If you could thank everyone for me, that would be tremendous."
