Omega
wins two out of three Worldplay radio awards
The
World Service play Omega (broadcast 3 Febuary 2002), written by
Mike Walker and directed by Gordon House has won two out of three
Radio Awards at the Worldplay conference in Ireland.
The
Awards are given for Worldplays, a series of international plays
commissioned by World Service, ABC, CBC, Radio New Zealand, RTHK,
RTE and Los Angeles TheatreWorks. Omega won the Awards for Best
Script, and Best Production.
Each
year a professional jury chosen by the host country of the Worldplay
conference votes for the winners in three categories: Best Script,
Best Production and Best Acting.
Prizes
are awarded to productions that the judges consider to have the
greatest appeal to an international audience.
Omega
presents a vision of the near future. It tells the story of John
Stone, a civil engineer, building the world’s tallest tower
rising above London.
He
discovers God after his daughter makes a miraculous recovery from
a car crash.But
did a miracle really take place? Perhaps John's whole life is a
fiction and he's merely the plaything of a group of controlling
scientists.
