A comic play written in 1924 set in an English Country house in the 1920s. The play deals with four eccentric members of the Bliss family and their outlandish behaviors when they each invite a guest to spend the weekend.
We were lucky enough to feature in the Shropshire Star about our production of Sleeping Beauty. It was a great write up about the community work that is involved and some nice pictures too.

It is with great sadness that we report the sudden death of Roger Humphreys on Sunday 18th May.
Roger had been a stalwart of Shawbury Village players since 1980 just after the group first formed. His first production being Cinderella.
He will be fondly remembered in many ways, his zest for life, singing, painting skills and especially for his role of the Dame in many pantomimes over the years. Roger was one of the best ‘ad- libbers’ in the business and knew how ‘ to work’ an audience. He was always so full of life and lived it to the full. May he now rest in peace knowing how much he was loved by all and our thoughts are with his family.
