Duns Play Fest Vision for 2022

Funds Received – £4,500.00

DunsPlayFest in 2022 was held both in the Volunteer Hall, Duns, in the first week of May, and on-line where various shows from the live festival, as well as other shows especially curated for the festival, were available to be watched for several weeks.

Both manifestations of the DunsPlayFest vision proved highly successful as the festival continued to grow and become a welcome and established presence in the year of both Duns and Scottish theatre.

Thanks to the marvellous and continued generosity of the Black Hill Wind Farm Community Fund, we were able both to fund an excellent young film-maker, Glen Shepherd, to record the shows that went on to form part of the online festival, and to provide A Heart for Duns with the finance to purchase a sign-board for the visually impaired. We want our festival to be accessible to everyone and will always do what we can to make theatre open to all.
