Broken Leg Award
As with every amdram production, it is the things that go wrong that sometimes create the greatest amusement. In recognition of this, DVC has a special trophy presented annually to the person (or in one case persons) who have contributed the most significant "disaster" to the year's production.
The trophy takes the form of a complete leg plaster cast on which the names of the recipients are recorded.
