Joy to watch country theatre playersMARION VAN DIJK The Wakefield Country Players are performing Joyful and Triumphant at the Wakefield Village Hall until November 25. Joyful and Triumphant, by Robert LordDirected by Peter VerstappenWakefield Country Players17 - 25 November, 2017Reviewed by Lisa AllanThe Wakefield Country Players is steeped in tradition and epitomises community theatre in New Zealand. Nostalgia, smiling strangers and stalwart villagers create the perfect setting for the show, Robert Lord's Joyful and Triumphant. As is the wonderful way with community theatre there are many people responsible for bringing this play to life. Whilst the play itself seems to have been ironically titled, the coming together of people to create is indeed a triumph and the community atmosphere provided by the Country Players is joyful.
