Playing a winner

A scene from Wadham Players’ award-winning production of The Brylcreem Boys
A TOP amateur dramatic group have won a prestigious prize for a production they entered in a national competition.
The Wadham Players, based in Walthamstow and Highams Park, took first prize in the divisional final of the eastern section of the All England Theatre Festival on Saturday with their production of The Brylcreem Boys.
The thespians played to a packed house in the Eastwood Studio Theatre, Leigh-on-Sea, and competed against four other groups from across the South East.
The play, written by Peter Durrant, tells the story of the crew of a Second World War Lancaster bomber on a raid over Nuremburg in 1944 which did not go according to plan.
The judges praised the production for being expertly directed and said the entire cast delivered proficient performances. Festival adjudicator Marie Sullivan commended the “excellent technical achievement” of the Wadham Players.
The production will go on to compete with four other one act plays in the semi-finals in Abbey Theatre, St Albans, on Sunday, May 28, at 5.30pm. For tickets and more information call 01727 8527861 or visit http://www.abbeytheatre2.org.uk.
