Congratulations to young local playwrite Daniel Kershaw after his work scooped the pool at the Southwest One Act Festival under the direction of Sarah House.

This production really brought home the bacon for Garrick Theatre Club with four awards to it's credit.

The Jackson/Reeve Award Perpetual Trophy for Best Original Script

Best Supporting Female Actor (Gemma Scott as "Sophie")

Best Male Actor (Zen Fairborn as "Rufus")

Best Director (Sarah House)

Kudos are also in order for Phoenix Theatre's entrant "The Last of The Plum Sisters".Directed by Peter Nettleton, with Tim Prosser (as "Jasper Plum") winning the Alex Shura Award Perpetual Trophy for Best Character Performance and also to the KADS entrant "Two" which won the Best Play Perpetual Trophy for the best overall performance.

Well done one and all and thankyou Bunbury Repertory Club for once again providing us with the venue for a wonderful weekends entertainment.

Thank you for clarifying

Thank you for clarifying your comments, Stinger. I thought the admin was a bit lax too, especially after I quickly left my seat to find my keys, which I had dropped outside, only to be told that I was not allowed to go back in again. I did however manage to get back in, but the thought of being a restricted to a play that I had a ticket for really pissed me off. In regards to your comment about not being allowed to see a play from your session is rather illogical I believe, considering that 1) you were already given FREE tickets to your session and 2) you don't get to see a full session if you pay for it. I was also disappointed with the fact that no water, tea or coffee available backstage for the performers - it WAS on sale though.
