See us bringing a show to life - watch the video
Get ready for this summer's Shakespeare festival. All the info you'll need!
The Players Theatre Company is a professionally-run, amateur theatre group based in Buckinghamshire.
Performing two or more shows a year, we are always keen to add more talented cast, crew, and supporting brilliance to our merry band.
This video was us preparing Midsummer Night's Dream in 2023.
Here's just one of the reviews of our recent show.
"What an absolutely brilliant massive production of Tonight at 8.30!
Nine plays which featured a super talented cast, incredible sets and costumes!
This was an epic production to take on by any Company and it was played to absolute perfection.
It was quite honestly the most professional amateur production I have ever seen.
Huge congratulations to the director Sarah and the multi talented cast, I can’t wait to see your Shakespeare production in the summer!"

We love producing outstanding shows! If you'd like to join us - in cast, crew, technical, music, or any theatrical roles, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us more, come along and meet the Director and friendly Company.
From time to time we'll also update this page with details of upcoming workshops and auditions. But get in contact any time, and we'll reply really soon.
Our performances will use Shakespeare's First Folio scripts - to get closest to the form of the plays as originally performed.
We'll obviously bring to life the meaning of the text for modern audiences! (See the dramatic vision for each play).
To understand the text, there are some great reference tools.
We'll rehearse using the Arden Shakespeare 3rd edition texts. These have comprehensive notes on background, meaning, and more.
(A full Arden 3rd series of all Shakespeare plays is also available with fewer individual notes).
There are also some fantastic online resources analysing character, words, and meaning. LitCharts.com is excellent, for example. (Links for each play below).
If you're acting in this play, you'll want to buy the Arden 3rd edition "Love's Labour's Lost"
