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.
25th ANNIVERSARY SEASON 2008-09
DANGEROUS CORNER
Our next production is to be J.B. Priestley's classic drawing-room drama about the revelations that ensue from a publisher's unexplained suicide - and how things might have turned out very differently if the 'dangerous corner' of the title was avoided... A gripping and thought-provoking entertainment that still fascinates audiences in both the professional and amateur theatre. Subject to confirmation, the play is to be staged at Buckingham Secondary School on 30 October, 31 October and 1 November. Contact Richard (bigrichpea@hotmail.com) if you are interested in being involved.
VICTORIAN GHOST STORIES FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON 5
Also in preparation are plans for the fifth edition of our popular evening of Victorian Ghost Stories for the Festive Season, to be presented at the King's Head, Aylesbury on 29 November and at The Old Gaol on 6 December 2008 (provisional dates).
