The National Drama Festival 2024 takes place at the Albany Theatre, Coventry, from Thursday 18 July to Sunday afternoon 21 July 2024.
Preview
The National Drama Festival celebrates the cream of amateur theatre across the British Isles. It’s a competitive showcase: a long weekend’s worth of award-winning productions. Each production will have won awards on the festival circuit in the past few months and deserves to be seen again!
They will be adjudicated by a GoDA Adjudicator, so that you can appreciate why they ARE the best of the best. Whether you’re coming to watch the plays in one session, or the plays in all six sessions, the Albany have put together a pricing structure that you will like.
