The Isle of Man Arts Council are delighted to announce that The Legion Players Drama Society has won the 2013 British All Winners Drama Festival with their play ‘Kecks’ by John Chambers.
Each year, the British All Winners Festival showcases the very best of British amateur theatre in a week-long celebration. Drama Groups which have won Full Length or One Act Member Festivals during the preceding 12 months are eligible for invitation by the National Drama Festivals Association (NDFA) to take part. The Legion Players, who won the IOM One Act Festival in February this year, were invited to participate in this year’s BAWF. Competing against eight other One Act Plays by teams from throughout the British Isles, the Legion Players performed at the Carlton Theatre, Teignmouth. Both the One Act Festival and the Legion Players’ participation in the British All Winners Festival were supported by the Isle of Man Arts Council.
The play is set in an up-market lingerie shop in Manchester. Karen (played by Pia Galante) and her Mother, Petula (played by Stephanie Gray), are having a girls day out in town, buying ‘something special’ for Karen to wear on her wedding night. However, it is not only the underwear that is revealing. The conversation between Mother and Daughter exposes more than Karen wishes to hear about her parents’ married life, and more than Petula ever wanted to know about her Daughter.
Director: Benjamin Heath. Production team: Olga and Michael Gray
Cast: ‘Karen’ Pia Galante
‘Petula’ Stephanie Gray
