The New Quixote (Best Comedy) By Directed by Sarah Coursey Sunday morning: As Gina prepares to greet the new day after a one night stand she can only vaguely remember thru her alcohol induced haze, the much younger Kenneth is preparing to move in and commence a more permanent ‘arrangement’. Cast: Gina – Kat Bailey (Excellence in Acting, Female) Kenneth – Sam Primrose (Excellence in Acting, Male) One Season’s King (Best Drama) By George MacEwan Green Directed by Doug Clarke QSM Set at a graveside during a funeral, the three men in the lives of a charismatic woman retell their stories … It is a play of characterisation and its successful presentation depends on the male actors being able to convey the tension which exists between them. This tension springs not only from their rivalry for Eveline's favours but also from their sense of class. Cast: Charles - Steven Barker Edward - Rod Turner Sam - Barry Tomkinson Eveline - Katharine Barker hark* By Gabe McDonnell Directed by Alexandra le Cocq Darius returns to the motel room that was the scene of his best friends suicide some years prior.
