An amatuer theatre group will perform a heart-warming comedy about a group of women preparing for a charity event.

The Datchet Players will showcase Cheshire Cats by Gail Young, a play that follows the journey of women participating in the Moonwalk in London—a charity event for breast cancer research.

The play will run on November 28, 29, and 30, at 7.30pm in Datchet Village Hall.

Directed by Nicola Walker, the production features a talented cast of local actors such as Anastasia Stavrinides, Emma Zuccaro, Mary Lord, Sue Britton, and Nikki Wallbank-Bown.

The Datchet Players, when describing the play, said: "Cheshire Cats is a play that celebrates female friendship, courage, and the power of community.

"With its blend of laughter and touching moments, it is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages."

The Datchet Players have been entertaining the village with productions for nearly 65 years.

Founded in 1959 by five members, the group staged its first play in 1960 at Churchmead School.

The club moved to Datchet Village Hall in 1967, built on land donated by a member of the group.

The group takes pride in producing quality performances that not only entertain but also engage the cast and their loyal audience.

They rehearse on Mondays and Thursdays and usually present two major performances a year, in April and November.

The group warmly welcomes new members, whether they are interested in acting, set building, lighting or sound design, directing, or simply looking to meet new people.

Cheshire Cats is set to be the group’s 126th production.

All funds raised from the Moonwalk event in the play go towards breast cancer research, underlining the vital role such events play in supporting health causes.

Tickets for Cheshire Cats are available at £11 and can be purchased online or by phoning the dedicated box office.

A cash-only bar will also be available at the venue for the convenience of the audience.
