Writers' Guild 'New Writing Encouragement Awards'

On 25 November, the Theatre Committee of the WGGB presented their seventh annual awards for the encouragement of new writing at a lunch ceremony at the Royal Court Theatre, and DAVID JAMES and the BML Workshop won one of six awards. The other winners were Dyslexia Scotland, , Paul Milton (Cheltenham Everyman), Network Theatre, Elizabeth Newman (Octagon Theatre, Bolton) and Natalie Wilson (Theatre Centre).
