PLAYS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND / OR LIABLE TO DISTURB OR OFFEND

While the Festival includes a number of entries by youth groups under 21, it is essentially an adult-orientated festival and may include some plays which some people may consider unsuitable for children or otherwise liable to disturb or offend

The Directors of all the plays are requested to advise the Festival organisers if their entries are thought to be in this category and the organisers then try to arrange, as far as possible, to avoid scheduling such plays for the same evenings as when more junior groups are performing or the audience is most likely to include young children However, the organisers do not see the Festival entries in advance and so are dependent in this respect on the best advice which the plays' Directors are able to give

ORDER OF PROGRAMME

All performances start at 7:30pm except for the Final Saturday which will have curtain up at 7pm
