The entries have now been read and judged by a panel of actors, writers and directors and we are pleased to announce that the winning entry is: ‘Do You Mind’ by Allan Williams. The standard of the other entries was such that choosing a runner-up was impossible. The Wellington Theatre Company will be running the competition, again, 2013-2014 and we look forward to receiving more work in the future.
