Welcome to Hook Players

Hook Players’ autumn production is Suite Surrender by Michael McKeever, which will be directed by Ros Shepherd.

It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance … that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.

Performances will be on December 4th, 5th & 6th. Watch this space for more information!

Join in the fun!

It’s not all about being on the stage.

So much goes on backstage including set design, painting and building, making costumes, make-up, sound, lighting and special effects, gathering props or simply helping with the front-of-house on performance nights. If you are interested in getting involved, even if you don’t see yourself treading the boards,  please email . There is something for everyone.

If you can’t get involved this time, then please buy a ticket, sit back and enjoy the show.

Play Readings

We are actively seeking plays for future productions and holding play readings, where members read through possible scripts. If you are interested in attending, please send your details via for more information. These play readings are very informal and you don’t have to read if you don’t want to. It’s a great initial introduction to Hook Players and is a good opportunity to meet the group.

Our autumn 2025 production is …
SUITE SURRENDER.

Set in 1942, two rival Hollywood divas arrive at the glamorous Palm Beach Royale Hotel for a wartime performance. Chaos ensues when they're mistakenly booked into the same suite, igniting a whirlwind of mistaken identities, egos, and comedic mayhem. Complete with witty double entendres and a pampered lap dog named Mr. Boodles, this play is a tribute to the classic farces of the 1930s and '40s.

Performance Dates:
4th, 5th & 6th December 2025
Box office details to follow.

Hook Players would like to thank everyone who came to watch Murder, Mystery & Mayhem! last week. We were delighted with the positive feedback we got from the audience after each evening's performance.

Here is a reel containing some scenes from both Hidden Meanings and Murder In The Village Hall.
