The PLAYMARKET Award for Best Line in a Kiwi Play… “Some of my best friends are a cat” in Irrepressible Urge.

The Award for Best Pash of the Year… the two youngsters from Long Cloud Theatre snogging to the side of the stage during the Mexican scene of Vernone God Little. Disturbingly realistic! I’m told they’re Joe Dekkers-Reihana and Corine Knorr.

The SOUTH PACIFIC PICURES Outrageous Award for the Best Performance of a Jersey wearing multiple personality Kiwi who dabbles in murdering, mothering
