After earlier failed attempts, the Players more confidently moved to three shows a year and three shows per play, which, with a few variations, has continued ever since. Stella Kirby spent nine years running away, leaving home to find her freedom as an actress. Now she has decided that the only role left to play is the prodigal daughter returned, hoping to rediscover herself in the familiar surroundings of her childhood home, Eden End. Here she is reunited with her widower father – a doctor who settled for comfort over ambition – her spinster sister Lilian – who stayed home to look after mother – and her brother Wilfred. The play is set in 1912, marking the approaching end of an era. Frederick Crowest, a new name in the Players’ annals, produces (i.e. directs) and takes a major role. Cast
Wilfred – Freddie Crowest Sarah – Flo Pierpoint Lilian – Gladys Hollands Dr Kirby – Bill Loraine Stella – Ellen George Geoffrey Farrant – Jim Roope Charles Appleby – Teddy Hollands
