Ad Hoc Players take first place at Drama Festival

The Ad Hoc Players took the challenge cup for first place overall at tonight’s finale of the local 2016 SCDA drama festival, with their production of Degas C’est Moi , which they performed tonight, the fourth and final night of the festival.

Second place overall went to Stromness Drama Club for their performance of The Steamie, Act 1, with Palace Players (Youth) picking up third for their production of Driver’s Test.

Tonight, saw three plays performed: Nothing by Hoy and Walls Entertainments Group, Hamnavoe Market by Stromness Drama Club (Youth) as well as the competition’s winning performance from The Ad Hoc Players.

All three were critiqued by this year’s adjudicator Paul Fowler.

Unlike previous years, a winner was not announced for each night of the festival due to a change in the rules of the event.

The previous nights of the competition saw performances from eight other drama groups.
