This year's One Act Play Festival runs from Monday 22nd May to Thursday 25th May under the watchful eye of our experienced Guild of Drama Adjudicators, Chris Baglin. There are eight plays mainly celebrating Youth Drama and representing GADOC, Avril Earl Dance and Theatre Arts Centre, Grammar School, St. Stephen's Players, Cheshire Dramatic Arts Academy and Music Box. All the competitors have had to work to strict festival rules

Wednesday brings us three plays. First we have The Red Shoes, where the magic shoes turn into a curse. The Fairy Tale Invasion follows. Is it a dream or a nightmare when fairy story characters turn up in Ava's bedroom? The last play Lockdown may have you on the edge of your seats.
