 Ken, unemployed and broke with a wife fast losing her patience, decides to start his own business – as a clairvoyant!

It’s all going rather well until Pearce turns up for a reading. Who is Pearce and what unexpected message has she brought? Life suddenly becomes far more complicated for Ken and the clairvoyant business might prove to be more trouble than it’s worth.

Thank you to everyone who came to see our Autumn 2023 production at Bishops Cleeve Tithe Barn

The Hound of the Baskervilles

The cast and crew were amazing and there were many well deserved compliments for the acting, the set and the production itself.  We were lucky enough to sell out both evening performances with only 6 seats remaining for the matinee.  Below are a few photos of the actors and the set.

Who Shot the Sheriff? by Chris Martin was a great success with sell outs for each performance.  Thank you to our great audiences for making it such fun and joining in with the quiz and whodunnit competition.  Some of the comedy suggestions were hilarious.  Honestly some of our audience have great imaginations!

Just a few photos below of our great cast – what teamwork and thanks to the brilliant backstage crew.  We couldn’t do it without you.

Welcome to

Bishops Cleeve Players

Bishops Cleeve Players began in 1955 with our very first production in 1956 of “The Hollow” by Agatha Christie and thereafter the Players typically staged two full-length productions each year.

Over the years we have presented a wide variety of productions, ranging from high drama to knock-about farce, from subtle comedy to Victorian Melodrama and a diverse range of one-act plays.  Many of these productions won awards over the years and in its 50th anniversary year won Best Play in the Gloucestershire One Act Play Festival.

With the growth in the range and sophistication of home entertainment, the world of live theatre has found it increasingly difficult to persuade audiences to leave the comforts of home to go to the theatre.  The modern audience also demands a fresh and dynamic standard and variety of entertainment.  So it was that the Players evolved again and developed a formula, which enables us to take an increasingly varied and eclectic programme of entertainment to the audience.

Following our May 2007 production at the Playhouse we began to take our shows into the local community with shows that are a flexible mixture of Light Entertainment and One Act Plays and our reception from the audiences has confirmed that there is a sound and encouraging future for live entertainment out there for those willing and able to go for it.

We are always pleased to welcome new members. The events we present are ideal for busy people who can afford limited precious time for greater leisure commitments. They are also ideal for developing and nurturing talent.  If you would like to entertain others and enjoy yourself in a friendly group get in touch via our contact form on the membership page.

Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy the show.
