The Oxfordshire Drama Network Festival of One Act Plays

This is a friendly festival and our main aim is to bring people together, both in a celebration of theatre and as a learning experience. Amateur drama groups from around the Oxfordshire area bring their plays to the Unicorn Theatre,  There are 2 or 3 one act plays per evening (watch our website for details of this year’s plays). Plays are performed by Amateur drama groups from around the Oxfordshire area.

The adjudicator this year is Sue Doherty a GODA member.  After each play during the week, the Adjudicator will give a short review and a workshop with the cast. Saturday night will be 2 plays, followed by presentation of the awards in the Long Gallery (the bar will remain open, and nibbles will be provided).
