Theatre Week 2011

This year's Theatre Week has been won by The Company Of Players, with their production of Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson, directed by Paul Morton

Runners-up were The Barn Theatre, with Heath Players taking the Stage Presentation Award.

Now in it's 50th year, the event was adjudicated by Colin Dolley GODA SASDA and as usual is a qualifying festival for the National Drama Festivals Association All-Winners finals.
