If you missed Short and Sweet Theatre this year mark it down for 2010. The variety, writing, acting and the direction of the these plays was of an excellent standard. MiSociety was very much impressed by the plays presented by the finalists for 2009 and we feel the judges had a difficult decision but John Derum’s performance in, the script of and direction by Fleur Beaupert put ’A Safe Pair of Hands’ in the winners circle. – MiSociety
