Broadclyst Theatre Group invites you to join us for a lively spring comedy romp as they offer up a brace of one-act plays which will send you bouncing home with a big smile on your face.
Both the one-act plays being offered up for your delectation are comedies - but in terms of their subject matter, they couldn't be more different. Intensive Care is a comedic thriller set in a hospital ward, in which our protagonist George enters for a routine procedure. His then shock announcement that he is about to undergo major surgery involving a new heart will have you questioning the meaning...

Theatre Review of Wyrd Sisters by journalist Daniel Mumby.
ONE of the great pleasures of watching amateur dramatics is getting to see a group develop and refine its craft over a string of productions. While faces occasionally change and the chosen material often greatly varies, there is always the feeling of incremental progress, raising a bar that has already been set very high.
I felt this way when I sat in the Broadclyst Victory Hall last Friday evening, watching the village's theatre group tackle Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters with affection and aplomb. Having...

Romance blossomed when Willy Wonka met Witch, Granny Weatherwax on the Cathedral Green.
The drama happened as witches, a baddie, a warrior and a ghostly king were enjoying a spot of sighting around the city, posing outside the romantic House that Moved and the atmospheric Stepcote Hill, before arriving in the calm oasis of the Cathedral Green.
But wait, who’s causing a commotion? Racing down the hill was a large group of Oompa Loompas, with Willy Wonka leading the charge!
On spying something to jump over (boys!) the Oompa Loompas took it in turns to leap over the...
The sun shone at the Broadclyst Family Fun Day and everyone had a great time at this hugely popular annual event.
This social and community event is one of the highlights of the year in Broadclyst, bringing the whole village together, for one special day.
The village playing field was transformed into a colourful kaleidoscope of activities: children’s races, a massive inflatable slide, displays, stalls, the village school choir performed and the family dog show proved incredibly popular.
It was a great opportunity for local community and voluntary groups to showcase...
It's comedy time as Broadclyst Theatre Group presents a wild romp of a show called Improbable Fiction by Alan Ayckbourn.
We all need cheering up in these gloomy times so come along to the Broadclyst VIctory Hall, settle down with a glass of wine or beer and enjoy!
Improbable Fiction is about a hapless group of wannabe writers who are considerably better at talking about their books than writing them.
The first half of the show is all about the characters they write about, the plots and the challenges each of them must overcome to get pen to connect with paper....
