Sadly, we have been forced to conclude that it will not be possible to mount any shows in 2020 because of the Covid-19 risks and Government restrictions. Something’s Afoot involves singing, dancing, close proximity of the cast and crew and many props being passed from hand to hand. Current social distancing requirements have caused most professional theatres to cancel all 2020 productions because it would be impossible to have an audience large enough to stage a financially viable production and it looks as though it will be at least November before the Government announces any review of social distancing.
The current plan is to stage a play in March 2021 and Something’s Afoot in November 2021 if possible.
Went to see Murder on Cue last night, my first ever attendance at a Hartley Players production. Absolutely brilliant! Well done to all the cast and crew.
Thank you Mary. So glad you enjoyed it. Now that you’ve found us, do come to our future shows!

The play is beautifully crafted and therefore deserves, if not demands, a performance of at least equal merit. And, by gosh, it got it in the form of the Hartley Players November, 2018 production. My congratulations to the cast, director and production team, not forgetting the set designer and builders. Top marks to you all!

This performance was of Premier league standard with the cast being the Man City of the Am Dram circuit. I have seen this play 4 times and this one excelled, from the set design to the courage of the cast to face the audience whilst miming the final scene, it was a superb production.
Thanks Stuart. We had many congratulatory emails and comments from audience members as they were leaving after performances. Many thanks for adding your comment to our website.
The National Operatic and Dramatic Association’s representative enjoyed Twelfth Night. “The .. simple set worked well. Good use was made of part of the auditorium for entrances and exits. Backstage work was handled well, as was lighting. Costumes looked excellent and colourful against the black curtains.
There were some strong performances from the leading characters. The rest of the cast were equally up to the challenge and the quality of acting was excellent throughout. Congratulations should go to all involved, especially Director Martin Pickering who can be justly proud of the way he brought Shakespeare to Hartley for the first time.
We came to see Twelfth Night on 22 November 2014. Thank you Hartley Players for such an entertaining evening and well done on your first (I think!) venture into Shakespeare!!
Wonderful show. The residents from Fairby Grange thoroughly enjoyed it well done to everyone
Came to see Calendar Girls on first night. What a triumph! I enjoyed every hilarious and sometimes emotional moment. Well done to the ladies of Knapely WI and supporting cast
found Plaza Suite very funny. it always amazes me how everyone remembers all those lines.
