The International Playwriting Competition 2011
Lasha Bugadze from Georgia and Fernanda Jaber from China have won the two top prizes in this year's BBC World Service and British Council International Radio Playwriting Competition.
Fernanda Jaber from China won the English as a second language category with her modern moral fable, The Wild Neighbour and the Willing Coward, which the judges described as "full of wonderful surprise," "poignant" and a "deep play done with a beautiful light touch."
Lasha Bugadze from Georgia won the English as a first language category for his dark comedy The Navigator, translated by Maya Kiasashvili.
The judges thought this play was "enchanting," "authentic" and that it cleverly turns the subject of loneliness into "joyous listening."
