ImageThe Common Players were set up in 1989 as a charity and a limited company. The original aim, which remains true today, was to provide theatre productions and activities for rural communities of the South West, particularly for people with limited access to see and take part in professional theatre.

The intention was to tell stories that involved audiences on different levels so that there was something for everyone to enjoy. In true Strolling Player style, the company walked from village to village, camping overnight before moving on in the morning.
