H.A.D.S. (Hadleigh Amateur Dramatic Society) 1st May - 3rd June
A stunning display of talent; H.A.D.'s has done it again with this raunchy 60's style show, that tackled everything from drugs to premature ejaculation! With impressive acting and singing skills, the show included a line-up of fresh, original songs following a contemporary theme, mixed with strong dance performances which were choreographed by Rachel Warner. The musicians performed continuously well throughout the play, creating an upbeat, dynamic tempo.
Although there were a variety of ages performing, the talent that seems to reside in the youth of the community really impressed us. The set was simple, yet very effective. It was adorned with posters of bands from the 60s and was extremely colourful. Swinging 60's costumes were used, as befitting the period, and really helped set the scene, getting the audience in the mood.
As the play progressed it just got stronger and stronger. We really enjoyed it because it was lively, fresh and we didn't want it to end!
