| 'Look
No Hans' by John Chapman & Michael Pertwee The Cold War continues its icy passage towards the end of the 1980s, and in Berlin a British car salesman, cum industrial espionage rookie, tries desperately to juggle a struggling business, a wife who isn't all she seems, a mistress who insists on prancing around half naked and an irate senior agent from intelligence headquarters. Surely nothing can go wrong? | |
 |
'Who
Killed the Ship's Captain?' by Chris Martin An enjoyable evening was had by all who came to solve the nasty, nefarious, nautical, full body necrosis! Many attempted to find out which of our passengers and crew had murdered the poor ship's captain, but only a handful were successful. |

'An evening of one acts 2009' by various The return of the one act plays to Standlake! In 2009 we offered an amusing collection of performances ranging from a doomed village fete to a pleasant afternoon chat on the sea front. Our most ambitious one act evening to date required, at one stage, turning the stage into a tea tent, and drenching half the cast in water! |
 |

 |
'An evening of one acts 2008' by various What do an undertaker, housewife with post natal depression, two suburban couples and a toy called Mr Poddle have in common? The Standlake Players first evening of One Act Plays that's what! Our three comedies provided a range of stories for audiences returning after our first dramatic outing, and judging from the reception we received after these shows, they weren't disappointed! |
 |
'Who killed the headmaster?' by Chris Martin Our first show! What better way to start then with a classic murder mystery. In this dastardly dark play our audiences enjoyed a glimpse into the goings on of a 1930s public school where all is not well. When the hopelessly inefficient but amiable headmaster is found slumped over his desk quite dead, we can only guess who the evil killer, or killers are... |
