The Droitwich Discovery by Nick Warburton
Des Loughridge's production of Nick Warburton's The Droitwich Discovery, this year's one act offering, has been a great success, winning Castlereagh and Belfast festivals as well as individual awards for director Des Loughridge (Best Director, both festivals) and cast members Andrea Brown (Supporting Actress, Castlereagh) and Dorothy Wiley (Best Moment of Comedy, Belfast). The whole cast as well as the backstage team (responsible for set, props, costume, sound and lights) have also drawn high praise.
The production moved on to the AUDF One Act Finals in the Alley Theatre, Strabane on the 28 January 2012; adjudicator Scott Marshall GODA.
