Drama Festival at Kenton Theatre This Week

The 43rd Drama Festival opened last night at the Kenton Theatre. During this week there will be nine theatrical groups battling it out for the coveted top prizes for performing their one-act plays to the audience and this year’s  adjudicator Colin Dolly who is the chair of NODA.

The Friendly Bombs – a group from Slough, won The Adjudicator’s Special Prize when they last appeared 2 years ago.   Jeni Wood said, “We expect to have a high calibre of entry from all the Groups taking part – should be a very interesting Festival this year – as usual.”

Twelve prizes will be presented on Saturday for different awards including the Diamond Shield, the Magic Moment Award.

The programme is listed below and all performances start at 7.30pm.   All tickets are just £8. Please go along and support this fantastic festival of drama.  To book go to https://www.kentontheatre.co.uk
