The 2024 D.A.D.S. production was a play by Tony Domaille called ‘Give Us A Sign’ and it was performed in the Winn Hall on Thursday 21st, Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd November 2024 to a sell-out audience.
Ken unfortunately finds himself out of work. Frustrated with his wife Rachel moaning at him every day to do something other than watch TV and bet on the horses, he decides to set himself up as a clairvoyant, drawing on his 20 years’ experience of being a salesman to convince people that he can give them a message from their dearly departed. How hard could it be?
Soon, Ken is receiving rave reviews in the local newspapers and is likened as the new ‘Doris Stokes’. What he does not take into account, however, is the MI5 and two secret agent spies then all wanting to use his new skills to contact a dead scientist who has secrets they all need.
