Wilmslow Guild Players

Wednesday 19th - Saturday 22nd May 1999


The 1999 Wilmslow Festival of One Act Plays, run by the Wilmslow Guild Players, was a huge success. It featured many varied one act plays from amateur dramatics groups throughout the area. As usual, the standard was particularly high. Many congratulations to all the winners below - we hope to see you all again at future festivals!
