About The Wye Theatre Company

The Wye Theatre Company has been presenting plays for nearly sixty years and have won awards at national and international drama festivals.  We aim to provide a varied programme and in particular to present plays which visiting professional companies are unable to bring to Hereford for economic or other reasons.  We perform at a number of local venues, including The Courtyard and The Powell Theatre at the Cathedral School.  We also have a lot of fun!

The Wye theatre Company enjoyed a run of highly successful late-night comedy revues from 1985 to 2000, as part of the Three Choirs Festival. These revues began with an experimental ‘Cloisterphobia’ and developed through ‘Acute’, ‘Chronic’, ‘Galloping’, ‘Grumbling’ and ‘Terminal’ Cloisterphobia. They used entirely original material written by local authors including David Nobbs, best known for his creation of Reggie Perrin – the books and television series. The company still occasionally presents revue-type entertainments for one-off events.

Recent productions at The Courtyard include Cold Comfort Farm, Under Milk Wood, Habeas Corpus, Blithe Spirit and various Studio productions including ‘Lucky Sods’ by John Godber. Elsewhere in Hereford we have performed The Real Inspector Hound at The Powell Theatre in 2008 and Outside Edge at HAOS in 2007

We are an amateur group and membership is open to all; current members come from all walks of life and are of all ages. During productions, rehearsals take place three nights a week currently at The Powell Theatre in Hereford.  New members can be introduced to the group at any of these rehearsals.

There is plenty of scope to participate on or off stage and new members, experienced or new to theatre, are welcome.
