Welcome to the New Exciting Cardiff Players
Over
80 years of entertaining audiences in Cardiff
the
Cardiff Players are changing
We will be a really exciting outward-looking group that is even more
welcoming to new members and new ideas
What's On
OK, so... "A
Midsummer Night's Dream" was a great success and the group has
a warm glow about it having achieved an amazing production. But what's
next?
First off
is:
Two Very Funny One-Act Plays
to give you that giggly feeling all the way home!
Money
Makes You Happy
Jeremy is a writer who is low on ideas and money but when he learns
from his ex-girlfriend, Ruth, that he may well be a father he needs
financial stability as quickly as possible! Proving it’s not what you
know but who you know, he soon has three important clients eager to
hire him for some freelance editing But is that really all they are
after, or do they have ulterior motives?
Black Comedy
"This ingenious one-act play
is based on a single dazzling idea, which Shaffer pinched from a fight
scene in a Peking opera and transformed into a brilliant high-comedy
concept of his own.
When the lights are on in the London flat where the action is set, the
audience is confronted only with impenetrable darkness. But when there
is a power cut in the apartment, and the characters suddenly find themselves
groping around in pitch-black darkness, the stage is bathed in brilliant
light, and those in the auditorium can observe exactly what is going
on". Charles Spencer,
Telegraph
"Take
a 40-year-old comedy with a gimmick and throw it up on stage and see
what happens: laughter!" Peter Bergman, NY TheatreBlog
Message from the Chair:
"Here we are on the brink of a really exciting new era for the Cardiff Players. It's exciting but scary at the same time. The Players have been producing our 5 plays every season since before I was first involved (1965) and now we are attempting to do things differently, use different venues and attract a wider membership and audience. I hope we will look back at this time and say that this was the beginning of great things"
