This podcast is all about the Stansted Players, a theatrical group of Bedales alumni, directed by former Bedales teacher Alastair Langlands. They come together every year to produce a play, usually a little-known one, which is then performed at Bedales.
The acting troupe of Stansted Players was founded in the late 1920s by the Earl of Bessborough of Stansted House. In this episode, current player Christy Callaway-Gale (2012) finds out from Alastair how he revived the players in 1990 and moved its home to Selborne and Bedales. Old Bedalian Sofia G-M (2014) then meets up with other players Serena Brett (2011), Nick Tier (1986) and Jordan Theis (2010) during rehearsals for their 2025 production of Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona.
The Stansted Players perform at Bedales School annually at the end of August.
