Banchory Drama Club news from Angela Walker
February brought a start to the new year for the Banchory Drama Club and we entered two plays in the annual Scottish Community Drama Festival. ‘Just Another Day’ by Drew Young made it through to the second round whilst ‘Hazel Dean 1985’ wri�en by the cast and directed by Iain Bovaird made a strong showing. Both plays, along with the winning entry from Aberdeen’s Bon Accord Club were performed in Banchory at the end of April. A bonus came with the news that ‘Just Another Day’ had won the Sco� Salver awarded for the best new play entered in the Festival. That’s the second time ‘our playwright’ has won the award. His previous success was ‘Triptych’ in 2017.
It's Panto Time! Oh no it isn't! Oh yes it is!
