Episode 3: Independence, Forward and Beyond 1995-2020
Following the pantomime in 1995, relations with the management of Faringdon Community Centre finally broke down (the centre was shut down 4 years later). The name of the society was shortened back again to the “Faringdon Dramatic Society (FDS)”. We have since become increasingly successful and have used a variety of venues: Corn Exchange, Junior School, Secondary School (Community College), Sudbury House Hotel, and Buscot Park Theatre. With the new millennium, the website went online in January, posters and programmes started appearing in colour and tickets would soon be bookable and paid for online too. Read more FDS history ...
All productions stopped following the pantomime in 2020 as the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic rampaged through the country and the rest of the world. All public performances were banned for the rest of the year and everyone except for key workers were told to stay at home for many months during three lockdowns, taking us well into the following year.
