National Drama Festival

The National Drama Festival is nearly here!

Three SADS members are involved in helping to bring this fantastic event to life, working hard behind the scenes and introducing the productions throughout the festival.

You don't need to be involved to enjoy everything it has to offer.  The festival is open to anyone with a love of theatre.  It features three and a half days of outstanding one-act plays, engaging feedback forums, and the opportunity to experience the finest amateur theatre from across Britain and beyond.
