September 2018 – Sedgefield Drama Festival
In September the group performed the play ‘After the Flags and Bands’ written by Allan Williams and directed by Jackie Wilson. The play follows the changes in the lives of four young women over the course of the First World War and how their close friendship helps them cope with love, loss and first hand experience of the horrors at the Western Front.
The cast were all aged under 20 and the adjudicator was most complimentary about their performances and praised how well they had worked together in such a challenging play. We also presented the play for one night at the Community Centre where it was very well received by our own audience.
At the final adjudication Beth Strain won the Best Under 21 Actress award for her portrayal of the nurse Edith who goes out to France. The adjudicator added it could well have been the best acting performance of the week. The play also won the costume award for their careful choice and authenticity.
Pictured with the awards are L to R Beth Strain, Grace Murray, Eve Murray and Grace Connor. Also pictured with Beth is Hamish Carroll who made a cameo appearance as a soldier at the Western Front.
