               Cobham Players was privileged to be the first amateur dramatic group in the country to       

             stage this new play, first performed in October 2016 by the Pentabus Rural Theatre Company.

                    In "Here I Belong" the story moves from 1953 through to the present day in a moving,

                            charming play about village life and the right to grow old in your own home.

                           The setting throughout is the village hall in the fictional village of Woodside.
