A DRAMA group has won an award for a comedy musical production they performed earlier this year.

The Theydon Bois Drama Society was presented with the Pat Redhead Drama Award from the National Operatic and Dramatic Association for their show By Jeeves.

The play has been performed in the West End with music from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

PR Manager Karen Burns said: “It was a really funny show and there were about 30 people involved so it was quite a big production.

"There are a lot of drama groups around and there's a very high standard locally so we feel very proud to have won this award.”

The group put on four shows each year at Theydon Bois Village Hall and their next production will be in October.
