Drama Festival Hots Up

Aspiring Thespian groups returned to the Carlton Theatre Teignmouth for the Quarter Finals of the 2010 Regional All English Theatre Festival. Four productions were competing to go through to the semi-finals in Warminster on 15th May. The Exmouth Players presented "The Mayor of Torontal", The Campion Players "A couple or Two", the return of Ampersands with "The Cagebirds" finishing with the hilarous comedy presented by A Few Prima Donnas "The little Box of Oblivion". The clear winner once again was Ampersands "Cage Birds" - a dramatic performance with a disturbing theme performed with dramatic effect by the pupils of Sands School with an average age of 15 years. I was privileged to be there and present the cup to the winners and send them on their way to the next heat. Further details www.carltontheatre.co.uk
