RECENT SUCCESSES
How appropriate that the Chipstead Players’ last production, the hilarious comedy "Outside Edge" by Richard Harris, took place in the kind of glorious weather that naturally comes to mind when one thinks of English village cricket. The combination of a good play and a strong cast & crew made for full houses throughout its very successful run, which ended on Saturday 10th July.
