Results from Sydney 2011 and Red Riding Hood

Well, the Short and Sweet festival in Sydney has just finished its seventh week and the results are in.

"Thanks for another great week of Short+Sweet Sydney 2011 and for working so hard to create a wonderful night of theatre which audiences were raving about all week. On a personal note it was a real pleasure to meet and work with you all ! Now here are the results.
Firstly congratulations to The Joy of Solitude which narrowly took out the Judge’s Choice for the week, from The Granny Case, and progresses to the Gala Final of Short+Sweet Sydney 2011 at the NIDA Parade Theatre on March 11th and 12th. Congratulations also to Rules is Rules that finished third in the Judge’s Choice.
Also big congratulations to The Granny Case that won the People’s Choice for the week with The Joy of Solitude second and 50 Guns third.
Alex Braun, Artistic Director"
So The Joy Of Solitude continues and The Granny Case ends its run here - but there's a promise from South West Wales that it will be included in a new evening of short plays called THE NURSERY RHYME CRIMES ((news of that later)

Also this month Red Riding Hood - a panto with teeth which I wrote some twenty years ago is raising its head  on Friday 25 and Saturday 26th February in Hitchin Hertfordshire. Funny to think that the stars of that Panto when it was originally performed are now top names in film and television.. Sharon Small played Red Riding Hood and Nick Moran played Ratfink the wolf's stupid sidekick.
