About
The Chanticleer Players
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
The Chanticleer Players are a little troupe of actors who create and perform stories to warm the heart. We sprung to life in 2015 and since then we having been putting on an annual Christmas pantomime, a Summer production and we have ventured to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
We hope to bring some joy and magic to everyone we meet, creating fun and family friendly theatre as often as we can!!
Louisa Moore
Artistic Director
The beautiful Louisa Moore is our resident playwright, director and cake provider! Louisa writes all the scripts The Chanticleer Players have put on, and nobly takes on the role of directing as well! During our Edinburgh Fringe Production 'The Mystery of the Bonnie Sporran and the Loch Ness Monster', not only did Louisa direct and write, she also acted, taking on the role of the glamorous and mystical Aunt Ariadne Hardwick, whose late-husband Lord Stiffy Hardwick had tragically drowned in Loch Ness!
Louisa trained in classical acting at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and is truly a triple threat when is comes to acting, writing and directing!
Jennifer Grace
Executive Producer
The jolly spiffing Jennifer Grace is the Chanticleer Players in-house producer! Jennifer produced our Edinburgh Fringe Debut, taking charge on all things production and admin, from venue, insurance, accommodation etc.!
Jennifer also acts in many Chanticleer Players productions, frequently playing Bunty Bungle, head girl of Titty Ho Heights, School for Young Ladies, in our 1950's 'Lady Iris Mystery Diary' shows.
