Brackley Players entertain with their evenings of one-act plays this February
For their first production of the year, Brackley Players will present An Evening of One-Act Plays, for three nights, from Wednesday Ferbruary 18 to Friday February 20, 2026 at Brackley Baptist Church.
The group has put together a contrasting selection of short plays, directed by different members of the company, to make up a great evening of entertainment. The programme includes Is That You, Clint? written by Geoff Parker, The Bear written by Anton Chekhov and adapted by Stephen Mulrine, and Little Grimley Saving The Planet by David Tristram.
The evening will kick off with a short one-woman play, Is That You, Clint? directed and performed by Katy Page. This humorous monologue sees Brenda musing on obscene phone calls and date disasters.
This is followed by Chekhov’s one-act comic play The Bear, directed by Chris Epps. When Yelena Popova, a reclusive young widow in mourning for her late husband, receives a visit from the irascible Smirnov demanding payment of her husband's debts, things take a surprisingly romantic turn...
For the second half of the evening, Brackley Players present Little Grimley Saving The Planet, the seventh play in David Tristram’s hugely popular and hilarious Little Grimley series. This latest instalment, directed by Alice Adams, sees the hapless amateur dramatic society rising to the challenge to reduce their carbon footprint. But, as ever, nothing quite goes to plan…
Brackley Players will present their evening of three one-act plays for three nights, from Wednesday 18th to Friday 20th February starting at 7.30pm, at Brackley Baptist Church, on Waynflete Close in Brackley (NN13 6AE). Tickets are £12, with concessions priced at £10, and they can be bought in person from the Old Hall Bookshop in Brackley town centre or online at www.brackleyplayers.org.uk. Tea and coffee will be available, and audiences are welcome to bring along their own cold snacks and drinks.
