THE SOUND OF HEAVY RAIN will play at the Sheffield Theatres Studio at the end of November, in a co-production with Paines Plough. Penelope's play, THE VILLAGE BIKE, played a sell-out run at the Royal Court in the summer of 2011 where it received rave reviews and was twice extended. The play also won the 2011 George Devine Award and the Charles Wintour Most Promising Playwright at the 2011 Evening Standard Theatre Awards. Penelope is currently developing an original 60' pilot, LICHEN COVE, for Working Title TV. In 2010, Penelope was invited to take part in the Royal Court Theatre's Young Writers' Supergroup and she was also selected to be one of six writers on the 2009 Future Perfect scheme at Paines Plough. EIGENGRAU played at the Bush Theatre in the Spring of 2010 to critical acclaim and was longlisted for the ES’s Most Promising Playwright Award. Penelope's first play, FUCKED, opened at the Old Red Lion in 2008, was a sell-out smash hit and Critics' Choice in TIME OUT. The play made a triumphant return to the 2009 Edinburgh Festival. |
