成人快手

This is the winning play from the 成人快手 World Service and British Council International Radio Playwriting Competition 2009 for English as a first language.

Erin Browne鈥檚 play was described by the judges as 鈥渆xquisite鈥�, 鈥渉uman鈥� and 鈥渟pare鈥�, and is a tender three-hander about co-dependency and moving on.

Sisters Lena & Chels are getting by just fine, awaiting the arrival of Chels' baby.

Then Lena has to go and fall in love with the girl in the bookshop.

Directed by Marion Nancarrow, an all-American cast stars Melanie Bond (Quantum of Solace), Sarah Goldberg (A Prayer for Owen Meany, Radio 4) and Sasha Pick (The Road to Guantanamo).

Twelve-thousand scripts were received in the 2009 competition, which awards two first prizes: for the best play with English as a first language and English as a second language.

Both winners came to London to see the recording of their play and the prize-giving ceremony was held at Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe Theatre on the 13th October.

The distinguished panel of judges included writer Kwame Kwei-Armah and actor Vincent Ebrahim.

The Prison Graduates, which won first prize for English as a second language, will be broadcast at the same time next week.
