This is a substantive, character-driven piece focusing on a woman's internal journey and resilience.
Since 1945, BMDS has been a magnet to those who enjoy music and drama. Whether as performers, technicians or an audience, members have found BMDS to be the home of amateur theatre in Bermuda.
In its time, BMDS has produced a formidable list of shows and concerts, in its own theatre, “Daylesford”, at the City Hall Theatre and elsewhere. These range from classics written thousands of years ago to modern works by playwrights on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the years, concerts of varied works have been performed by the BMDS chorus, the Daylesford Singers and by the Daylesford Sinfonia Orchestra.
Dedicated to putting on good music and drama and bringing it to the widest possible audience, BMDS relies heavily on the voluntary efforts of its members. Apart from occasionally imported professional directors and musicians, BMDS employs no-one. From the membership secretary who will process your application, through the bartender who serves you a drink, to each and every person active in any production, you will be meeting and dealing with members acting in a voluntary capacity to further the aims and objectives of the Society and hopefully, to enjoy themselves.
