Our WINNING 2013 Entry

September in the Rain

by John Godber

Our winning Festival entry was set in the golden age of Blackpool, complete with boarding houses, donkey rides, talent contests, saucy postcards, stripy deckchairs, rolled-up trousers, knotted hankies and queues for ice cream.

September in the Rain is an autobiographical portrayal of family seaside holidays as Yorkshire miner Jack (Jason Lambert) and his wife Liz (Samantha Myers) share poignant memories filled with laughter and tears, fish and chips and wet and windy promenades.

The play was adapted and directed by Rodney Pearson and was performed at The 2013 Leatherhead Drama Festival as part of the competition on Friday May 17th and performed again at the Gala Awards night on Saturday May 18th 2013.

We won the Adult Group competition, Jason won the award for Adult Group Best Actor and Samantha received a nomination for best Adult Group Actress.
