The fascists over at Blogger have now forced me to switch to Beta-Blogger. So much for free will. Bastards.
Anyway, it happier news. The Short and Sweet final took place on Friday night in Sydney. Spent the day keeping an eye on the websites - went on the aussietheatre website to read that the awards had mostly been swept by a play called Almost - a 9/11 orientated piece which sounded very good (I literally have no concept of the quality of the other plays - or even mine for that matter!). But the good news was that the actress in my play won the Best Actress award! So I left with a little deflation at having not won every prize there was to win ;) but very pleased that the show as a whole had come away with a prize. Later, however, after a prompted look at the Short and Sweet website, I discovered that I'd won the Best Script Runner Up prize. After some giddy bouncing around I now contemplate my future as an award-winning playwright. (Yes, I am aware that is a stretch but I'm clinging on to it forever!!!). Second place out of 1200 scripts certainly ain't bad - it's just a shame I can probably never thank my director and actors in person. I just hope they've enjoyed the whole thing as much as I have from half way around the world.
