This play has a cast of 3 male and 6 female adult characters and is a comedy murder-mystery set in a country house in 1949. The synopsis reads as follows: -

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.

The Moat Players have entered the Tamworth Drama Festival with ‘Swan Song’ by Vanessa Brooks, one of the plays featured in our evening of plays in mid-October ‘Tears and Laughter.’ The Tamworth Assembly rooms will play host to drama groups and societies from all over the Midlands competing in the one-act open play festival. We will be performing in the evening on Tuesday 16th March, with the results being given on Saturday 20th March. This is very exciting as this is our first drama festival in many years! Watch this space!

The Moat Players would like to take this opportunity to wish our members and audiences a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We hope to see you at Babes In The Wood in January!
