Harrogate drama group returns to the stage with Oliver!
The St Peter’s Players’ annual show returns next week with a production of the musical Oliver!.
The Players, who have been performing for over 20 years, are made up largely from members of the congregation of St Peter's Church in the centre of Harrogate.
Members range from nine to 80 years old and include the vicar, The Reverend Dr Alan Garrow, who will be playing the comical Dr Grimwig.
The performances will take place daily from November 4 to 6 at St Peter’s Church on Cambridge Street.
After two years apart, the 55-strong group were keen to get back to rehearsing and found inventive ways to deal with covid.
John Hain, the director of the production, said:

Last year, the Players were forced to cancel their production, producing a short film instead.
Mr Hain explained:
Tickets cost £10 and can be bought online. Children under 16 go free. All proceeds go to St Peter’s.
