Best Actress Over 21:
Melanie James for her excellent performance in 'The Waiting Room'. Her character set out as a quiet member of the waiting room until she stood up to an outspoken person waiting in the room. However she then had to act against a violent character and receive the raw end of his anger. |
Best Original Play:
Mark Rhead, Melanie James, Natasha Houlihan, Morgan Johnson, Jonathan Parry, Sam Belfield, Keely Blanchard, and Niamh Hine for their creative script 'Pauline'. This play centred around a trial of a boy for the kidnapping of Pauline. It switched between the trial itself and the newsroom which had dramas of its own. The outcome was that the trial was dismissed due to the hamster (Pauline) being found in her cage and was therefore no longer missing. |
Adjudicators Youth Trophy:
Natasha Houlihan, Sam Belfield, Keely Blanchard, Morgan Johnson, Jonathan Parry and Charlotte Parry for 'Detention Room'. The adjudicator liked the way the group had obviously worked well together on it. He felt that the connection on stage helped to show the drama and emotions of the play. |
