About Donkey’s Years…

Twenty years after graduation, six former students return to their college for a reunion dinner. While their lives may have had varying degrees of success, all are connected by a common past. Once locked in college for the night, the graduates begin to relive their youth, and old friendships, feuds and the much desired but absurdly proper Master's wife come tumbling back into the present.

The play will be directed by Jeff Redfern and will be performed from the 10^th -13th March 2010.

The glittering awards ceremony took place at Blackpool’s Imperial Hotel on Saturday the 31^st October and the event had a different format to previous years. This time we were only advised in advance of the nominations and the actual winners were announced on the night.

Fylde Coast Players were nominated for a very impressive four awards:

Peter Taylor, Best Director for Blood Brothers;

Tony Lancaster, Best Actor for Mickey in Blood Brothers;

Sarah Jane Stone, Best Actress for Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers

Fylde Coast Players, Best Play for Blood Brothers.

We are really pleased to announce that Peter Taylor won Best Director and the society won Best Play! This is in addition to the four nominations we had at this years regional event and the 2 awards that we scooped on that occasion.

 Congratulations once again to all involved and we hope you all had a great time at the party!

Fylde Coast Players are one of the longest running Amateur Dramatic Societies in the area and we know that many members have information about the group, photos, press cuttings, programmes etc going back over the years and it would be great to have it all collated together and looked after.

If you are interested in becoming the ‘society archivist’ or know someone who might be, please let us know.

Fylde Coast Young Players are the only youth group in the Lytham St Annes area  focusing solely on acting. Our aim is to provide fun and lively practical sessions where you can learn a wide variety of theatre skills from acting techniques and movement workshops to wardrobe and set design. We cater for everyone aged 10 to 18 years from beginners right through to those with years of experience! We plan to produce two shows per year so you’ll get the chance to showcase your new skills too! Take a look at our young players page.
