Denys Edward Players
Report SocietyDenys Edwards was a leading local amateur actor during the late 20s and 30s, performing with a number of societies. During the war he worked on Wartime Voluntary Entertainment Duties performing plays for the troops. A band of actors was recruited and they played in a variety of venues throughout the region and after the war a group of them formed the Denys Edwards Players (DEP). Sadly Denys Edwards died suddenly in 1982, but his legacy lives on and DEP still flourishes today.
Each year we present a varied programme of three full length productions. The spring and autumn productions take place at the Sheffield Library Theatre and the third at the Crucible Studio Theatre during the Summer. We also enter the Sheffield and District Amateur Theatre Association One Act Play Festival in June.
Since 1984 the group has been based in its own well equipped Drama Studio, which has a large rehearsal room, two meeting rooms, props store, workshop, wardrobe, green room and kitchen.
Rehearsals are usually held on two or three evenings a week at our studio. At DEP actors have the opportunity to rehearse on the set from an early stage of the rehearsal period. This is possible as all construction is done on the premises in our own workshop. Actors find this makes the transition from rehearsal room to theatre easier.
DEP is always on the lookout for new members – on or offstage, experienced or brand new. Please contact membership@denysedwardsplayers.co.uk for details
