The Arundel Festival Theatre Trail, conceived and presented by Drip Action Theatre Company, is now in its tenth year. It performs at the end of August, on each of the Festival’s eight days, eight short plays at eight different venues all over Arundel – last year, for example, in a living room, a kitchen, a restaurant and a pub.  An audience of over 1,800 came to see the 2009 Theatre Trail, making it our most successful ever. (See www.dripaction.co.uk for more details)
