What the reviewers said...
"These community events really encapsulate the passion that our community has for our heritage and it’s very touching that the volunteers have given up their own time to share their knowledge with us"
(Scene One Plus) Chelsea Ball 2019
"I had no idea what to expect from a lovely Sunday afternoon at Scaplen’s Court but I had a wonderful time. The play I saw Produced by Carole Allen (who also took part), Directed by Jo Puttick and written by Don and Katy Nutt with advice from Jenny Oliver and Jo Puttick was such fun that you could not but enjoy yourself. There were sixteen players who were all excellent and brought to life the times in Poole in 1623. The play started and finished with a song, which I must admit I joined in with. I thought Don Gent as Narrator kept us all interested in the plot and held things together very well. The costumes were just right for the times and enhanced the production. Everyone’s accent was excellent from start to finish, no mean feat. I expect by now you will have guessed that I thoroughly enjoyed my super afternoon out with the Scaplen’s Court Players. Such a shame they can’t do it all again next week"
