Share a review of Thame Players’ Landmarks

LANDMARKS – a revue of Thame Players by Tony Long and Bernadette Tildesley, promises to be a fun evening of sketches, songs and dances celebrating the Thame Players Theatre Company and its history.

Thame Players can trace their origins way back to 1944. In July that year – just a few short weeks after D-Day – the town held a series of fundraising events in aid of returning soldiers and one of those events was billed as by ‘Thame Players’. Since then the group has gone from strength to strength. From performing only once or twice a year to just a few hundred people in the early years to the thriving theatre we have today with some 8000 people coming through our doors each year to see our own or visiting live shows as well as cinema screenings.

Landmarks picks out the important steps along the journey, such as the acquisition of our theatre in 1977 and the major refurbishment in 2002, and presents extracts from some of the shows, the songs and the sketches. It also tells the story in words and pictures of our development and reminds us of some of the other events worldwide.

Join Thame Players on this fascinating journey. For some who have known about the group for many years it will be a journey of nostalgia. For those newer to what they do it will offer a fascinating insight into what has made Thame Players the thriving, vibrant group of today.
