WELCOME TO FADS!
Fintry Amateur Dramatic Society
With around 35 enthusiastic adult members and a raft of talented children from Fintry and many of the surrounding villages (and Glasgow!), the Club is a great mix of ages and experience. Our audiences have grown to expect a high standard of performance, with attention to detail in set design, costumes, make-up, lighting and sound all contributing to the quality of our productions.
We aim to stage something in Fintry each spring and autumn and work to have an entry in the annual SCDA One-Act Play competition – plus a rip-roaring pantomime at the end of every year.
We’re always looking to welcome new members, so either come along to one of our social events or click the button below if you’d like to join us.
OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...
THE BOOK CLUB OF LITTLE WITTERINGTON
A one-act comedy, written by Joan Greening
Director: Tony Flisch
Performances: Thurs 26th to Sat 28th March 2026, 7.30pm, Menzies Hall
The first of a trio of ‘Little Witterington’ plays, this one-act comedy introduces us to the regular ladies of the Book Club. All friends since school, they are wary of letting a newcomer to the village join their club. But there's more to Paula than meets the eye, and she may even have what it takes to get around the appallingly snobbish Belle.
Tickets: £10 - includes pakora and a glass of wine!
THE FAIRMER WANTS A WIFE
A full-length comedy, written by Alan Cochrane
Director: Gavin Paterson
Performances: Thurs 30th April to Saturday 2nd May 2026
It's 1822 and all of Scotland is awash with anticipation of the impending State visit by King George IV, none more so than the Laird of Hawthornden, Sir Robert Drummond. Widowed for many years and endowed with a roving eye and hands to match, he decides that he desperately needs a wife if he is to be invited to the many Royal Balls and Banquets.
A conniving widow quickly ensnares Sir Robert whilst he is nursing a sprained ankle, and her grasping brother sets his sights on the Laird's young daughter. However, the daughter has already fallen in love with a penniless artist who, unbeknownst to her, is in fact the very suitor her father has been secretly arranging for her to marry. The maidservant overhears this and reports back to her young mistress, who then plays her errant lover and father at their own game. Meanwhile, the Laird's sister and the housekeeper hatch their own plan to win the Laird away from the widow.
Throw into this chaos a German Baroness who is not all she seems and some awful weather, and you’ve got yourself a hilarious romp, filled with twists and turns.
