And here is an excerpt from our NODA review.

Ottery Community Theatre have a rich history of promoting home grown talented writers and this evening of One Act Plays written by 4 of their members was no exception. The evening was diverse and very entertaining, we had educational, sad and funny plays which were all brilliantly written and well performed.
