About The Guild of Players

The Guild of Players was formed in 1913, making it one of the oldest amateur dramatic companies in Scotland. The Guild was formed, as noted in the minutes of an early meeting, ‘to promote an improvement in the public attitude towards, and taste for, the drama, by means of plays of outstanding merit, by lectures, readings, and in any other way which might commend itself to the Directors.’
