Runnymede Drama Group ("RDG") is a community theatre group based in Chertsey, Surrey that is notable for not only for its longevity, but also for its success both at a national and international level being one of the few groups to have won every major festival in the United Kingdom and having also been selected to represent the United Kingdom on the international stage.

History

Based in the Surrey town of Chertsey, RDG was founded in 1948.[1] It stages at least five productions each year, including drama festival entries. The group has also been noted for its production and promotion of new material, such as its 2000 production of Scarecrow.[2]
