Mentee wins playwriting prize

Amy Louise Wilson wins Distell National Arts Festival playwriting competition

I was invited to mentor Amy Louise Wilson, one of the five young writers whose scripts were shortlisted out of 124 entries in the recent Distell National Arts Festival playwriting competition.  Amy was announced as the winner of the competition at a function hosted by Distell on Friday 31 January.  Her play will be presented as part of the Main programme at this year's festival.
