Welcome to the website of
The Old Gaolers
Buckingham’s Drama Group, founded
1984
The Old Gaolers are considered one of the best amateur theatre groups in south-east England and we have received numerous awards over the years for our productions. We present two plays a year and also participate in national one-act play competitions, organise concert parties, stage murder mystery evenings and support the Buckingham Community Pantomime among other town events. Our social calendar includes parties, theatre trips, quizzes and regular after-rehearsal gatherings. Productions range from comedies and thrillers to challenging dramas, costume classics and full-scale musicals. We have also experimented with audio recordings and made several short films. Anyone over 14 can join (we rehearse in the evenings, twice a week) and can sometimes offer opportunities for younger performers.

VICTORIAN GHOST STORIES FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON 6
Advance notice that we are already planning Christmas and the sixth edition of our popular evening of Victorian Ghost Stories for the Festive Season, to be presented at The Old Gaol in December 2009. Which chilling tale presented by SCAREAGOPP (Society for the Collection of Anecdotes Relating to the Existence of Apparitions, Ghosts and Other Paranormal Phenomena) will win your vote this year?
