One act plays performed by the Players at the Settlement, typically in the spring, that either go to Festivals during spring/summer or support festival plays at the Settlement one act evening in April.
The Settlement Players have always been keen supporters of drama festivals, and were involved in running the Letchworth drama festival (1938-1957) and Letchworth Little Theatre drama festival (1963-2003). The Players staged their own internal festival in the intervening years. The Players have regularly taken one act plays to Bedford, Sawston, Barton and Welwyn Garden City and returned with Prizes.
It is sometimes reported that the Players opened the first Welwyn drama festival in 1929. This is a myth. The Players performed The Two Gentlemen of Soho (which opened the first Welwyn festival) during the 45th Welwyn Festival in 1979.
