Are you ready to bring history to life with laughter, heart, and unforgettable storytelling?
Fordingbridge Players are thrilled to announce our most ambitious production yet:
 Norman the Conqueror, coming October 2026.
What’s it all about?
Step into the shoes of 91‑year‑old Norman in 2020, as he looks back on his life in wartime Southampton during 1940—through moments both dramatic, tender, humorous and moving. This richly layered play is rooted in real events, and has a special connection to Fordingbridge through Norman’s marriage to a local girl, giving it truly personal resonance.
Why this is special:
It’s our most expensive production to date, with a large cast and complex set
Time‑change scenes shifting effortlessly between 1941 and 2020
Live music and song woven through the narrative to heighten emotion and engagement
Want a sneak peek?
Join us for a play reading on Wednesday, 1 October at Avonway starting 7pm.  It’s a relaxed way to learn more, ask questions, and read the script.
Ready to take centre stage (or support from backstage)? We are looking for actors, singers and musicians.  Click here to tell us your coming.
Come and be part of something extraordinary—let’s make history feel alive together!
