‘Shift’ Asia Pacific Winner in the BBC World Service International Radio Play Competition
I am currently in cold Perth waiting to sort out my visa to come back to London for a bit. I am missing London immensely but using the time over here to work on my PhD which has been neglected over the last few months due to all the theatre work I’ve been immersed in in London.
I got some good news last week. My play ‘Shift’ has been awarded runner up and Asia Pacific Regional winner in the BBC World Service International Radio Play Competition. It’s a play set in a psychiatric hospital that was inspired by my previous work as a psychologist at Cumberland Hospital in Sydney’s Western Suburbs. It has never been produced which is fantastic, otherwise it wouldn’t have been eligible and I adapted it to radio specifically and just in time for the competition
