Judge's comments on the winning play

JUDGE: Joan Lane

AN ABSENCE OF  by Suzanne Jeans 

It started with the title; it aroused my curiosity.  An absence of … what?   Was it a single item or was it several?  The question was soon answered in this contemporary drama about the decline in an elderly woman’s ability to recall or to reason, coupled with the realisation by a reluctant daughter of what it means to become a carer.  The play explores a topical and ongoing subject that is frequently aired in the media.   The diagnosis of the onset of dementia is the first pebble to be thrown into a pond.  As ripples spread from the impact, they gradually engulf an entire family, dividing its members, and often friends and colleagues, into ‘present’ and ‘absent’.

The well-written and perceptive monologues, and the often-disturbing dialogue, deal skilfully with emotional turmoil in a difficult mother-daughter relationship as the ageing parent becomes dependent on a daughter filled with anxiety at the thought of being her parent’s primary source of support.   I suspect many of us will have witnessed this happening, if not in our own families, in that of others.

The writer’s descriptive ability shines through in the exploration of Sally’s innermost thoughts as reality dawns, or, conversely, as the realm of reality slips away.  Never mawkish, the dialogue neatly illustrates the process of gradual self-realisation and understanding.  A flair for language, coupled with an eye for detail and a talent for interpreting emotion, was evident in the writing from start to finish and determined for me where this play should stand.   I am only sorry to be missing the performance.   Well done.

 

JUDGE: Andrew C Wadsworth

AN ABSENCE OF by Suzanne Jeans

A very impressive piece of writing. The characters were all clearly defined and fully formed and their emotional development clearly explained. They all came with history and all had complex reasons promoting their behaviour

Sally- trying to rebuild a broken relationship that never was.

Jackie- a young woman resentful at being a mother and then using her second daughter as a weapon against her first  .

Joanne-  the favoured child, who  because she was so loved, can’t bear to watch or be involved in the decay of her mother.

A thoughtful and detailed piece of writing. I was very impressed with both the structure and the development of this piece of theatre.

Cast, writer & director of winning play "An Absence Of": Sarah Lawrie, Suzanne Jeans (writer), Sophie Morris-Sheppard, Mike Duran, Barbara Phelps, Anthony Shrubsall (director) & Eloise Jones

"An Absence Of" was written by Suzanne Jeans

Thoughts on winning!

When I entered the competition all those months ago, I never even dreamed of making
even the longlist! 'An Absence Of' is the first play I've written and to have been declared
the winner on Saturday night in such esteemed company, is beyond all my expectations
and hopes. When I sat down to watch my play for the first time, I didn't know what to
expect. It was a privilege to see it brought to life and I am indebted to my director,
Anthony Shrubsall, for visualising and creating such a powerful and eloquent
interpretation. As the play is based upon my experiences over the last two years, I didn’t
know how I would feel watching the characters I know so well, in the hands of someone
else. Watching Sarah, Barbara, Sophie, Eloise and Mike breathe life into their roles so
intuitively and sensitively was a real delight for me.
It was nerve wracking receiving the critique from the judges, but a valuable and
supportive part of the process. Meeting my fellow finalists, Adam and Pete, was a
pleasure, and I wish them every success with their writing in future. I feel extremely
fortunate to have been part of the competition this year and would like to express my
thanks to the whole ‘behind-the scenes’ team who make the Award possible. It has given
me the confidence to continue writing. I now hope to extend the play to a full- length
piece. The entire experience was thrilling and I would encourage all would-be writers out
there to enter next year. You just never know what might happen!

The Ice Queen was written by Pete Barrett

I’ve come close to the final in the KB competition twice in the past, but this is
my first time in the finals. I enter dozens of competitions each year, often
achieving the short list & sometimes win. But, despite being an amateur
prize, the level of professionalism in this event is fairly unique in terms of
production, publicity & professionalism. It has really been exciting and I’m so
pleased to have been part of it.

Cast, writer & director of "One, Two, TREE": Oliver Joseph-Brooke, Richard Elson (director), Zoe McVicker & Adam Colclough (writer)

One, Two, TREE was written by Adam Colclogh & read by: Brenda Connolly. Sara Howells & John & Emma Bruce

The festival has been a wonderful experience for me and one which I have loved and feel extremely proud to have played a small part in.

A huge thanks to all the readers who give their time and energy so that aspiring writers like me, get the opportunity to showcase their work. Your passion for theatre is to be admired and I applaud you all.

Andrew and Joan for selecting my entry and for their detailed adjudication. I value your words and I thank you both so much for them.

I thank Richard, Oliver & Zoe for blessing my entry with their talent and for giving me so much more than what was down on the page. (I hope you each branch out to other things)

Thanks to David, Lisa & Chris working in the shadows.

Thanks to Karen Darville and I congratulate her on a successful festival.

Thanks to Ann Trewartha and her team for making me feel so welcome and thanks Ann, for guiding me along from being announced as a finalist, all the way through to the final curtain.

New writing, new theatre only happens when people have the courage to take a chance. This award has the balls to do that and I encourage all those undiscovered writers out there to pick up a pen, because the theatre needs new voices! I sincerely thank the Windsor Fringe for letting mine be heard.

Cheers

Adam ‘s a forty-three-year-old Hod Carrier from Stockport, who likes to write
and would much rather be working on a plot for a play, than a plot for a

After writing a play about five years ago, few years later, I began to get tired
of my wife and daughter rolling their eyes every time my mentioning I was
going to do something with it. So I took it out from underneath the bed,
where it had been gathering dust.
A local amateur society, gave me the opportunity to stage my play and from
that positive experience was encouraged to write more and more, and it has
led me to this wonderful opportunity at the fringe.
