2021 Radio Play Festival
Each society performed a short radio play (20-60 minutes) which was submitted as an audio (MP3) file.
Each performance was adjudicated by Amanda Sharpe-Conroy, and awards given for a range of categories.
The adjudicator provided to each society a written critique of their entry.
Any play suitable for voice and sound could be entered, and there was an award for Best Original Play.
The overall winner of Best Play was
Masquerade with 'Five Kinds of Silence' by Shelagh Stephenson.
