During the latest of our popular murder mystery dinners, you will be treated to a 3 course meal while you try to unravel the goings on at Redwood School's reunion dinner.With the staff dealing with a love triangle, a humiliating bully and a greasy caretaker who knows more than anyone should

For our Spring production ,we staged two one act plays: No way Out by Jean-Paul Sartre, and The Bear by Anton Chekhov. Our first-time Directors, Wendy and Rick Rolph, reflect on their experiences...Why did we do it? Well as they say, "there is only one motivation and that is desire". The Bear and No Way Out were plays that we initially chose for an evening’s read through. The idea that we should

Some HAmDramS members went to see a Murder Mystery presented by Wellworth Players on 11 June at Haddenham Primary School.This was a fun event, although unfortunately our team did not win.HAmDramS is currently plotting the Murder Mystery we will use in October for our next production.
