HOUSEBOUND

by Simon Mawdsley

Sept 2019, March 2020 & March-June 2022

Originally performed as one of three one-act plays in September 2019, 'Housebound' went on to be our entry in the 2020 One-Act Play Festival, where it was placed second in the Stirling District round. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the competition had to be abandoned. Luckily there was a second chance for the team in 2022, where they came second in the Eastern Division round, then won the Scottish Finals in Orkney!
