Based at The Empire Hall in the West Sussex village of Graffham, near Petworth, The Graffham Rustics is a friendly, relaxed drama society. We have been staging plays, mucicals and operettas since our foundation in 1951. We have tackled a wide range of material from Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan, Alan Ayckbourn, J. B. Priestley to modern musicals. Of our 100 active members and supporters, the youngest perfomer in a recent production was only 7, whilst we still have founding members still supporting us.

Whilst very much a community group producing plays and shows for the enjoyment of our audiences and indeed ourselves, we aim to achieve a high standard and have won NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) Awards for excellence and in 2004 won "Best production" at the West Chiltington Drama Festival.

If you would like to join us, want more information about our next show, or just want to get in touch please email info@graffhamrustics.co.uk
