Chance Encounters - Minchinhampton Players at the Market House, Minchinhampton
2025-06-28 19:30 - 22:00 | Minchinhampton Market House, Market Square, Minchinhampton, GL6 9BW, United Kingdom
Chance Encounters” is a set of nine scenes. Each involves people
talking to each other, (or to themselves) while sitting on a park
bench, (which you’ll recognise).

It is nowhere near as slight as that description might imply. There
are some very funny moments, some lovely observations and reflections
on the character traits we all try to hide but let show in our less
guarded moments. And the play has some poignant and thought-provoking
hints at how we treat each other.

It’s a perfect and timely show for this time of late Spring and I hope
you come and see it.

TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR

A play by Jamesine Cundell Walker
A park bench on a September day is the setting for nine encounters that are at turns thoughtful, tender, and funny.
