Diary of a Badminton Player

Quirky comedy drama Diary of a Badminton Player comes to The Courtyard this October.

Audiences are poised for a treat, as local budding playwright Steve Wilson unveils his latest work, Diary of a Badminton Player.

The play delves into the keenly observed life of an ageing, middle-aged man, Colin Cosgrove, who attempts to keep his reputation faultless as the resident top-tier badminton celebrity.

Colin Cosgrove is a busy man. He’s running badminton training sessions; his supply teaching job is going ‘great guns’ and his food delivery work keeps him busy on a Saturday night. But then it all starts to go a little bit wrong. Is he losing his mojo? Can he get it back? Can he maintain his status as a top badminton celebrity in Worcester?

Diary of a Badminton Player is a show about the difficulties of ageing and finding things to do all while trying to remain a local hero.

Audiences can enjoy a sequence of shenanigans, take one of Colin’s badminton lessons, learn to draw and maybe even offer him large sums of money.

The show is suitable for all ages and players of all racket sports.

Diary of a Badminton Player will be in the Studio Theatre on Saturday 5 October at 7.45pm. To book tickets, or for more information contact the Box Office on 01432 340555 or visit www.courtyard.org.uk.
