Agbaje Nominated for Most Promising Playwright

Huge congratulations to young playwright, Bola Agbaje,
who is one of three nominees for this year’s Charles Wintour Award for
Most Promising Playwright, for her debut play, GONE TOO FAR! The
critically acclaimed production, directed by Bijan Sheibani, was on at
the Royal Court this summer, before going on tour. The two other
nominees are Anupama Chandrasekhar and Tarrell Alvin McCraney, but
we’ll be rooting for Bola on 24th November at the 2008 Evening Standard
Awards.

I’ve realised…that it’s people who need to tell a
story who write the best plays. That was true of Osborne in the 50s,
and it’s true of Bola Agbaje today
” Dominic Cooke, in the Guardian, 7th November 2007.
