Young Farmers’ drama talent shines at arts festival heats

Each club performed a short drama piece which the members skilfully wrote and produced themselves.

Each evening, the performances were judged by independent adjudicators Rosenne Sturgeon and Joanna Martin who looked at the content, presentation, technical competence, audience appeal and general effect.
