Drama Panorama

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 Scotti sh Community Drama Festi val. ‘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 Festi val. That’s the second ti me ‘our playwright’ has won the award. His previous success was ‘Triptych’ in 2017.
