We are absolutely delighted to announce the joint winners of the Aurora Award 202 are Ian Watson for Frank 4 Sophie 4 Eva and Awkward Productions for Untrue Diana and Gwyneth Goes Skiing
Our reviewers nominated them because “Watson’s genius script shines with wit and emotional depth. The dialogue is sharp, with moments that will have you laughing one moment and reflecting the next. The themes of love, loss, and the search for connection are explored with both sensitivity and humour, making it a relatable journey for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of relationships” and “my vote is Ian Watson, Ian Watson and Ian Watson please”
And for Awkward Productions
“Returning to London after runs in Edinburgh, Utah and a UK tour, Awkward Productions’ version of Gwyneth Paltrow’s moment in court is bigger, better and more bonkers than ever”
“Karp and Martin have created one of the best shows out there. Mad as a box of frogs and a wonderful evening of communal joy and side-splitting silliness, Diana is simply brilliant entertainment … whatever entertainment means
A huge congratulations to both Ian Watson and Awkward Productions
