From Downsview Players: Two impoverished actors pose as the missing beneficiaries of a wealthy widow in 1950s Pennsylvania, USA. With a touch of Some Like it Hot, a dash of Twelfth Night and a nod to Charley’s Aunt, this is old-fashioned farce for the 21st century. cross-dressing, devilish deception, unlikely romance, untimely entrances and rapid exits abound in a side-splitting romp. Book your tickets now!
The Downsview Players are a drama group in south London which has been entertaining people since 1931 with drama, comedy, farce and panto. Find out about our place in the local community in Upper Norwood, SE19.
Whether you’d like to tread the boards or help backstage, we welcome new members from all over the borough to our little ol’ drama club in Upper Norwood. Read more about membership.
