Following a hugely successful production of Oh What a Lovely War in April 2004, a public meeting was held at which it was agreed to form a drama group in Balcombe; the first for 40 years. The group was named The Victory Players after The Victory Hall in which they perform, built in memory of those who fought and died in the First World War.
The logo (as seen above) is taken from one of the magnificent frescos that adorn the walls of The Victory Hall, depicting scenes of war and peace from 1914-1918. Click HERE to view a pdf file with more info about the murals (256 KB; right-click and select "save target as" to save).
The objective of the group is to perform drama in Balcombe, and to offer its members a range of drama related activities, including theatre visits, play readings and workshops.
Paul Scofield, a Balcombe resident, is our patron.
