AFTER many false starts due to COVID-19, Dramus Theatre presents its ‘Clutching at Straws’ production this week.

Pandemic restrictions and crowd caps haven’t deterred this local performance, and while limited seating and vaccination mandates are in place, the show is set to wow crowds.

Dramus Theatre president, Ewen Cameron said he was thrilled to return to live theatre. “It’s so nice to put on a production with a crowd, and it’s such a fantastic show - not to do it would be dreadful.”
