The HAODS drama and song evening was the ideal night for The Ladybirds to perform their festival play for the final time. They opened the evening's entertainment with their one-act comedy based around an amateur society which has lost all its men - we've all been there! It was a very funny play, performed superbly with some brilliant interaction between the cast. After The Ladybirds, the fish and chips were brought out to much excitement and consumed to the sound of the haunting melodies of Bleak Angel. Following this was the challenging monologue A Landlord's Tale performed by Alan Phillips. Alan is a long standing member of HAODS who has won several drama awards, and his relaxed air, costume and delivery suited this piece perfectly.
Wendy Huntley was next to the stage with her excellent comic poetry. She included a great mix of old favourites and new pieces, and even let the audience choose the closing poem. Bleak Angel then rounded off the evening with another brilliant set. The evening's entertainers were all so different and the genres varied enormously, but each was performed professionally and made for a great evening of entertainment. Well done to all performers and thank you to everyone that came along to support the night.
