2005 productions may include "Twelve Angry Men" and "Jane Eyre"- details in the "news" page.

 

This website is constantly being contacted via the contacts page. The feedback received is always varied and is always welcome, however, many people contact the website with questions regarding the Marlowe Players or the group's past productions. As the Marlowe Players have now been active for over 50 years, it is unfortunately extremely difficult for me to know the answers to all of the questions asked. It is hoped that members of the Marlowes, past & present, will access the feedback page and respond to any queries wherever possible.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact the group, and please don't get disheartened if you don't receive a reply immediately...we will get back to you.

A Brief History of the Marlowe Players

 

The Marlowe Players amateur drama group was founded on 15th January 1948, when a small group of people met round a fireside in Chaddesden to discuss the formation of an independent drama society. They wanted the freedom of ideas and choice of plays which independence allows and which is not always possible for an 'attached' society.

The first play, presented at the Railway Institute, in September 1948, was
"Robert's Wife" by St. John Ervine. Rehearsals took place at St. Michael's Church House. Since then there have been 131 major productions. In addition the Players have staged recitals of poetry and music, old time music hall and have entered productions for various festivals, both competitive and non-competitive. The Players celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1998.

Rehearsal venues have been as varied as our productions and have included a railway arch and a furniture showroom. We are now happily installed at
St. Augustine's Community Centre where we meet on Tuesday evenings.
