We won a Life! Theatre Award for Best Multimedia!


Okay, technically it was Choy Ka Fai who won it. But he's in the UK filming stuff for Diaspora (which will be in the Edinburgh Festival 15 and 16 August!) so I collected it on his behalf, talked about what a great guy is to work with and exhorted everyone to watch his upcoming Revolution Per Minute (23 to 25 April).

That's our only prize, though. Best Production went to Gemuk Girls and Best Sound went to... shite, I've forgotten who got best sound. It'll be in the papers tomorrow. Oh yeah, it was Philip Tan for Temple.

I'm at TheatreWorks dropping off the trophy now. Had a conversation with Selina Pappa over what Ka Fai wll use it for. Paperweight? Bookend? Extreme dildo?
