"Lively, irreverent and fast moving ... it works!"

George Owen, Drama Association of Wales

Winner - OVERALL FESTIVAL WINNER
Anstruther-Gray Drama Competition(SWRI Finals) - Shiskine Drama Group - 2010

Synopsis

The village drama group has lost all their men. The future looks bleak until a bright, young director, Francesca Delmarco, agrees to help them out.

She is professionally trained and she has a plan which will give the group a new lease of life. She persuades them to enter the 'Dame Agnes Wragg Festival of One Act Plays for an All Female Cast' with a play she has written herself.

Francesca's play is controversial; it concerns a lesbian couple who want to have a baby. When the word gets out, the vicar's wife, Agatha Frost, attempts to ban the production. However, The Players have their own way of dealing with misguided authority.
