NOTES

"Romance is Dead"  was originally a radio play, adapted by Emma Daintrey for the stage and first presented as the opening half of an evening jointly organised with Meridian School's Performing Arts Department that concluded with their students' performance of excerpts from Edward Bond's "Saved". CADS went on to enter the play in the 50th Cambridge Drama Festival in April 2018, where it won the Backstage Endeavour Award and earned nominations for Rebecca Aloneftis (Best Actress), Nicky Paton (Best Actor) and Mark Hamblin (Best Cameo).
