Wise Men Nor Fools
Presented by Heckington Players
A chance to see this award-winning production at the Sleaford Playhouse.
Comedy duo Roger Salt and Peter Pepper shot to fame in the 1970s with their TV show A Pinch of Salt and Pepper. But celebrity status and a gruelling schedule took their toll. We find them in 1989, in the dressing room of a rundown theatre. Where did it all go wrong?
Wise Men Nor Fools won the Hunstanton Festival in 2024 and the Leicester & Rutland Festival in 2026 before placing 2nd in the semi final of the All England Theatre Festival, only losing out to the six-time British champions, TACT.
The performance will be followed by the story of the creation of the play and the journey through 5 festival performances with a Q&A with the writer and actors. 5 performances, 5 venues, 5 adjudicators – what did we discover about competitive theatre?
