took place on
Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 March 2010
493 plays were submitted for the 2009 competition
and the judges had a difficult time making the selections:
TARBABY by Roy Chatfield (Andover)
This fascinating play tells the true story of highly acclaimed
American photographer Lee Miller who began her career in Paris
along such Surrealist artists as Man Ray and Picasso
DA by Edwin Preece (St Albans)
This compelling modern day Romeo and Juliet drama takes place in Ireland
where two brothers are out to revenge their Da's murder.
GRACE AND RESIDUE by C G Watkins (Melbourne, Australia)
In this intriguing play, four strangers living in the same block
are assembled in a recently deceased woman's apartment. They have never met her
but curiously their neighbour has left all her property to them...
LAST NIGHT by Ruari Peoples (Falkirk, Scotland)
A highly accomplished and hilarious first play
about a group of friends and relatives before and after a funeral.
IPF
also presented work from its European partners,
Italy's Premio Candoni (but not, unfortunately, this year)
and Greek playwriting from Nicosia based Theatro Ena.
And selected work from the Warehouse Writers' Workshop,
and the work of emerging young talent from the BRIT School.
