Broughton Players

14/06/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Preston Playhouse for the One Act Play evening last weekend 👏

Your support made the night something truly special for all three companies involved ❤️

We were especially proud to share our original piece, "The Truth Teller’s Club" — written and directed by Maria Adamson, within our own Broughton Players family.

The response has been wonderful and we're particularly delighted that NODA highlighted our play as ambitious and thought-provoking, praising its modern themes, creative use of technology, and the impact it had on the audience long after the curtain came down.

It means the world to see new writing recognised in this way 🎭

Thank you for championing local theatre, original work, and the spirit of creativity that has kept Broughton Players thriving for 80 years.

Here’s to many more stories, many more risks, and many more nights shared together in our wonderful theatre community!

The Truth Teller's Club Needs You!

At Preston Playhouse Theatre theatre this week, you get to decide which ending you would choose in Broughton Players original production of The Truth Teller's Club, written by one of our drama society members - Maria Adamson.

Step into a near-future world where facts are slippery, trust is scarce and every confession comes with a question mark. Five strangers gather to share their truths, but the room soon feels less like a sanctuary and more like a trap.

How will each ending play out?

One-act plays have a special kind of electricity. There’s no time for comfort, no room for filler. They arrive, grab hold and refuse to let go. The Truth Teller’s Club is built to do exactly that.

Part of An Evening of One Act Plays at Preston Playhouse from 4th-6th June, a fundraiser for Preston's only working theatre.

Tickets on 0333 666 3366 or online at Preston Playhouse Tickets
