​Well, the tour of Three Musketeers is under way (for all the upcoming venues between now and January see https://www.southdevonplayers.com/box-office.html )
As director, I love getting these "candid" sidestage photos of my incredible cast and crew in action. There is a truth to them, performing in the space, in mid-action, which you can never replicate with posed photos and pretty backdrops . Plus, with our more ambitious projects that sometimes we have people assuming we will never achieve, it is great to show the work in action.
This is a great team - theres an age range of about 50 years in the cast and crew, and a huge range of experience from people who have performed professionally for decades, through to people taking their very first step on stage over the last weekend. That is how we roll
It is impossible to choose just a couple of pictures of this team; so here is a gallery of sidestage photos taken at Brixham Theatre.
Our tour now goes on to Knowle Village Hall near #BudleighSalterton, Lipson Co-operative Academy's Muse Theatre in #plymouth, Stokenham Village Hall near #kingsbridge, Exeter Northcott's Barnfield Theatre in #exeter, Unleashed Theatre Company's Royal Lyceum Theatre in #torquay and Kingskerswell Village Hall near #newtonabbot.

Experience adventure and drama, in The Three Musketeers , at Brixham Theatre!Brixham, UK –


Join us for a swashbuckling adventure suitable for all ages as the South Devon Players bring the classic tale of The Three Musketeers to life at Brixham Theatre! This thrilling production will take place on Saturday, November 9th, with performances at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.


These performances launch the winter tour of The South Devon Players, from November to January across South Devon.Set in vibrant 1620s Paris, France:
this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' beloved novel, created by the South Devon Players, follows a young swordsman who arrives in Paris determined to join the Royal Guards. Faced with challenges and intrigue, he teams up with the King’s Musketeers to thwart a sinister plot against the monarchy, all while proving his courage and loyalty.


With stunning costumes, dramatic sword-fighting scenes, and a fast-paced storyline, this is a theatrical experience you won’t want to miss!


The cast of this show are actors of all ages from 11 to the sky's the limit, drawn from local towns across South Devon, at all stages of their careers as actors – from complete beginners making their first ever on-stage debut, to those who have been working professionally for decades, everyone joining together to make this show a reality.


The cast have worked tirelessly from the end of the summer, using a local community centre to craft the show, hand make most of the costumes, design & choreograph dramatic action sequences, and create the stage set.
All of this – and all the other shows and projects by South Devon Players - is funded by hand making and selling jewellery via a local coffee & gift shop the Crafty Cwtch, and sorting donated used stamps to sell to collectors on ebay.
This production demonstrates the quality of theatre which can be achieved though ingenuity, dedication and creativity.

Press release from Laura Jury, founder of South Devon Playersemail [email protected]

Well we are well underway with the costuming for Three Musketeers- here are some of the team looking beautiful at the initial fittings to see who fits what, and what we still need to make.
There’s loads to do yet - lots to make, but it’s already coming along so well.
I’m encouraging the team to rehearse in costume (unless it is super hot weather) or as much of the outfits as they have, as it will really help with being in character, morale and publicity shots

In other good news our actor in Midsummer Nights Dream whose car was totalled in a pre-show crash at the weekend, has had broken bones plastered up and is on the mend - and itching to get back in (they also are in Three Musketeers) even though I’ve ordered they take this week off. - Laura
​

After a brilliant run of shows at Brixham Theatre we are now going on to our sold out show at the Barnfield in Exeter, before coming to Torquay, Kingskerswell, Ashburton and Stokenham. 
It is brilliant to also have multiple schools coming along and being involved, and to have great audience feedback from the shows. 
If you want to get tickets to any of our shows, (obviously Exeter is sold out but the rest have tickets available)  please pop over to our Box Office page for dates and booking information. 

Hello all!
We have two lovely videos to bring you. First of all is our lovely Sean, in rehearsals as the Porter last night and absolutely rocking the role. 

Then, our lovely Michael, put together a video trailer filmed down at Battery gardens the other day. 
​

Last Saturday we had a great photoshoot promoting the show at Brixham Battery Gardens, around the old WW2 bunkers, and we also got to use a jeep belonging to the parents of one of our young actors! Photos, and video trailers will be released over the next while to whet your appetite, but to start off with, here are some pictures created to test out graphics and effects for the rest of the release. Original photos by Michael Betts, Laura Jury & Simon Slade. ​...
