Meet the cast of “Rumours”… introducing the whole damn lot of them!

What a cast they have been! I’m so proud and happy to have been able to put this show on with them. It’s been an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

"The humour comes thick and fast and the only risk of missing a gag is that you’re still in fits of laughter from the previous one."

Thank you to North West End UK for supporting Rumours. Come down and join us tonight or tomorrow!

Under the capable direction of Paul Arends, Thingwall Players excel in their Anglified delivery of one of Neil Simon’s most farcical of plays where the humour comes thick and fast and the only risk of missing a gag is that you’re still in fits of laughter from the previous one. This 1980’s tal...

Thingwall Players regrets to announce that our rescheduled panto, Peter Pan, has been cancelled.

As a community theatre group, we rely on the tremendous voluntary efforts of our cast and crew, all of whom give their time to present the most professional show possible. Unfortunately, due to several outside commitments, we have had to reach the conclusion that the production cannot go ahead at this time. Therefore faced with the prospect of a further postponement we have made the difficult decision to cancel and refocus our efforts on future projects.

Refunds will be issued shortly from our ticketing partners.

We hope you understand and we look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful venue for more shows very soon.

Huge thank you to North West End UK for their review of Ghost Stories For Christmas.

"A highly professional, extremely engrossing evening" ⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Tis the season to be jolly...well scared by tales of the Supernatural, in the unsettling setting of Hornby Library, And Ramsey Campbell, our foremost horror writer (Stephen King is a fan), crowns the show with Calling Card, originally commissioned by the Daily Post in the 80s. Like the other three....

What a fantastic day performing Ghost Stories For Christmas yesterday! We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came to see this sell out show and our most heartfelt gratitude to Ramsey Campbell for his support and enthusiasm.
