It is with great sadness that CKCP has learned of the death of long-standing member of The Players, Tony Jeans.  A writer, producer and director, Tony was an active member for many years and will be remembered for shows like ‘Some Sunny Day’ and ‘Let Us Remember’ which he wrote and produced and ‘The Rivals’ and ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ which he produced in collaboration with Martyn Fry.  He wrote and directed many Walk of Witness dramas and continued to produce videos at Easter and Christmas with his wife, Sandra, long after Covid was behind us.

Tony will be greatly missed by all who knew him and our thoughts and prayers go to Sandra at this sad time.

Play Readings

We’ve been enjoying regular play readings since early in 2020. They’ve given participants
opportunities to try out different character parts, and for the Players to explore new pieces
which could be performed ‘live’.

Our reading of an adaptation of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ has resulted in the issuing
of an audio production as currently advertised. A request out in the community, for

submissions from creative writers for sketches to be performed, resulted in lively and thought-
provoking results. A one act play was also submitted and it is hoped that the Players will be
able to mount a live production in 2022.
