Did you know Bishops Cleeve Players began in 1955 with our very first production in 1956 of “The Hollow” by Agatha Christie & thereafter we typically staged 2 full-length productions each year. We have really missed performing during the pandemic but we will be back! #amdram #bcp

Did you know that up in the rafters in the Tithe Barn at Bishops Cleeve is an owl? Ok, it may not be a real owl but it is said that if any of the actors look up at the owl then they will forget their lines.... #bishopscleeveplayers #amdram #owl #legend #mythandfact #bishopscleeve
