Comedy play by Ashley Burgoyne directed by Janet Dawson and staged by the amateur Broughton Players.
The Broughton Players are bringing The Park Bench to the Preston Playhouse from 10 to 13 February 2027, with curtains at 7:30pm each night. It's a comedy by Ashley Burgoyne, directed by Janet Dawson, and staged by the Broughton Players by arrangement with the playwright.
Burgoyne is a Norfolk-based writer and musician whose plays have been performed by theatre groups across the country and overseas, and he describes his work as drawing on the humour and pathos of ordinary relationships. The Park Bench sits within that comedy output. Outside of playwriting, he's a poet, a children's book author — with titles like Eddie Ross and Crocodile Keith — and a classical guitar teacher. He also co-founded New Frontiers Theatre Company with Melissa Collin, a company that stages monologues and two-handers across North Norfolk, Broadland and Norwich.
