Description The Kuring-gai Theatre Guild's current production of Emlyn Williams's comedy, "The Druid's Rest", is pleasantly persuasive. At the mid-week performance, the inexperience of many of the players (the cast is mostly drawn from local talent) was largely counter-balanced by natural vitality and instinctive feeling for the gentle fun of the comedy.
