Bruce Mason Playwriting Award goes to a team

History has just been made with the Bruce Mason Playwriting Award.   For the first time in its 40-year history, the $10,000 prize goes to a team - two writers who together have written several award-winning productions.

Eleanor Bishop and Karin McCracken are a dynamic duo whose company is called EBKM.   Eleanor is also a stage director who works across theatre and opera.....

Karin meanwhile is a theatremaker and performer who's just back from Canada where EBKM's production of Yes Yes Yes - a show for young people dealing with desire and consent - was performed in Montreal.

Lynn Freeman asks Karin how they came to work together.

The 2022 Bruce Mason Playwriting Award has just been announced at a ceremony at the Hannah Playhouse in Wellington.
