Current CADS production

SEVEN MOVIES

by Roy Maddox

Yay! Our entry to the 2021 Welwyn Drama Festival, a brand new one-act play written by local author Roy Maddox and designed specifically to be filmed via Zoom, won no fewer than three awards

Called Seven Movies, the play revolves around a group of neighbours who decide to form a film club, partly to broaden their horizons and partly to give them a chance to get to know each other better. Each month one of them chooses a movie and everyone watches it at home before they all get together online to discuss it. As the series of monthly meetings progresses, however, they (and we) learn a lot more about each of their neighbours than about their film choices, sometimes more than anyone really needed to know.

Adjudicator Walker Ewart OBE awarded a performance prize to Kathy Young, a director's prize to Michael Young (as well as commending him on his performance), and a special Adjudicator's Award for one particular scene.

The cast of the CADS play looked like this (as is customary, those names not shown in white were appearing with CADS for the first time):

Barbara - Alison Bass

James - Michael Young

Rose - Wendy Watts

Sarah - Geraldine Hindley

Brian - Martin Maynard

Margaret - Kathy Young

Dorothy - Pauline Rowe

Barry - Sam Herbert
