Swansong at Tamworth Drama Festival: The Results!

moatplayer — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:44:00 +0000

Members attended the final night of the Tamworth Drama Festival for the summing up by the Adjudicator and prize giving.

We are delighted to announce that Nicola Jeacock-Gilbert was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Adjudicator for her performance as Margaret – congratulations Nicola!

We were also pleased to have been nominated for an award in the Best Adult Play category.

All in all, our first entry in this particular festival was an interesting if not rewarding experience, we had the chance to meet other groups and observe their work and the audiences’ response to it. But most importantly, we left entirely satisfied that we had given of our best in our performance with the inspiration and drive to return next year to this and hopefully other regional festivals.

Members looked on with pride as the cast of Swan Song by Vanessa Brooks took to the stage at Tamworth Assembly Rooms for the Tamworth Drama Festival on 16th February 2010.

Fay, Martyn and Nicola gave an accomplished and moving performance of this poignant One-Act play, first performed by The Moat Players in October 2009, ably supported by the production crew and we were pleased to receive some favourable comments from the Adjudicator.

The prizes will be awarded at the end of the Festival on Saturday 20th March 2010 so we await the results with baited breath! In the meantime, congratulations to everyone involved and a huge thank you to those who came to support the cast and crew.
