Congratulations to playwright and friend Rick Viede, who last night won the Drama Script (Stage) Award at the 2010 QLD Premier’s Literary Award for his play, Whore.

Whore, produced at B Sharp in 2009, also snagged Viede the Griffin Award in 2008. Interestingly, Viede entered the play for the 2010 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards for which, as well publicised, there were no plays deemed worthy of shortlisting. It would be interesting to find out the comparison between the judging processes for each award. Joanna Murray-Smith’s Rockabye was also submitted for the NSW award, and shortlisted in QLD.

Full winners listed here.

Happy writing,

Jo
