| As well as attracting an ever-growing audience, Cookham's Tarrystone Players have achieved great success at the Maidenhead Drama Festival. In 2006 they won Best Unpublished Play and Best Comedy awards for their one act play, 'White Lies'. This was followed in 2007 with an award for Best All Male Performance in 'Vision Impaired.' We hope to replicate this success in 2008 - with your help! See our What's Next? page for more details... Here are a couple of reviews from our recent shows: |

| White Lies It's a great night at Pinder Hall with these two comedies from Cookham's Tarrystone players. Richard James wrote and directed White Lies a fabulous play for 5 women. Meeting up after 30 years 4 University Pals discover why they they might not have actually been such good friends! It's very funny, beautifully played with a starring role for a Theresa May lookalike and soundalike - Lynne Smith, with Ann greenwood, Tina Langley and Sue Roberts playing the friends who get their own back with hilarious results....Newcomer to the Tarrystone Hannah Yates plays a delightful waitress! |
| The Mystery at Mallen Hall The play is written by Cookham actor Richard James who plays the larger than life Sherlock. It's a brilliant whodunnit where the audience have to guess the murderer! And did they guess correctly? On the opening night only 4 people got it right - there's nothing like a good twist to keep the audience on their toes! - and the winner was presented onstage with a bottle from Stratfords wines by the cast. The Tarrystone players are celebrating their 40th anniversary and have pulled out all the stops with this production. Good set, costumes and props and new comfortable seats in the Hall made it a very enjoyable evening. |
